We discuss the problem of optimally "finishing" a partially sequenced, reconstructed DNA segment. At first sight, this appears to be computationally hard. We construct a...
We address the problem of minimizing the communication involved in the exchange of similar documents. We consider two users, A and B, who hold documents x and y respectively. Neit...
We study the edge-disjoint escape problem in grids. Given a set of n sources in a two-dimensional grid, the problem is to connect all sources to the grid boundary using a set of n...
We show that contour trees can be computed in all dimensions by a simple algorithm that merges two trees. Our algorithm extends, simplifies, and improves work of Tarasov and Vyaly...
We describe a new external memory data structure, the buffered repository tree, and use it to provide the first non-trivial external memory algorithm for directed breadth-first se...
