Detecting synchronisation of biological oscillators by model checking
We define a subclass of timed automata, called oscillator timed automata, suitable to model biological oscillators. Coupled biological oscillators may synchronise, as emerging be...

Iterative compression and exact algorithms
Iterative Compression has recently led to a number of breakthroughs in parameterized complexity. Here, we show that the technique can also be useful in the design of exact exponen...

A trajectory-based strict semantics for program slicing
We define a program semantics that is preserved by dependence-based slicing algorithms. It is a natural extension, to non-terminating programs, of the semantics introduced by Wei...

Clustering with partial information
The Correlation Clustering problem, also known as the Cluster Editing problem, seeks to edit a given graph by adding and deleting edges to obtain a collection of disconnected cliq...

Stability analysis of the reproduction operator in bacterial foraging optimization
One of the major operators of Bacterial Foraging Optimization Algorithm (BFOA) is the reproduction phenomenon of virtual bacteria each of which models one trial solution of the op...

A polynomial solution to the k-fixed-endpoint path cover problem on proper interval graphs
: We study a variant of the path cover problem, namely, the k-fixed-endpoint path cover problem, or kPC for short. Given a graph G and a subset T of k vertices of V (G), a k-fixe...

Analyzing the dynamics of stigmergetic interactions through pheromone games
The concept of stigmergy provides a simple framework for interaction and coordination in multi-agent systems. However, determining the global system behavior that will arise from ...

A hierarchical strongly aperiodic set of tiles in the hyperbolic plane
We give a new construction of strongly aperiodic set of tiles in H2 , exhibiting a kind of hierarchical structure, simplifying the central framework of Margenstern’s proof that t...
