Absolute convergence: true trees from short sequences
Fast-converging methods for reconstructing phylogenetic trees require that the sequences characterizing the taxa be of only polynomial length, a major asset in practice, since rea...

New approaches to covering and packing problems
Covering and packing integer programs model a large family of combinatorial optimization problems. The current-best approximation algorithms for these are an instance of the basic...

Representing dynamic binary trees succinctly
We introduce a new updatable representation ofbinary trees. The structure requires the information theoretic minimum 2n + o(n) bits and supports basic navigational operations in c...

The diameter of random massive graphs
Many massive graphs (such as the WWW graph and Call graphs) share certain universal characteristics which can be described by so-called the "power law". Here we determin...

Gossip is synteny: incomplete gossip and an exact algorithm for syntenic distance
The syntenic distance between two genomes is given by the minimum number of fusions, fissions, and translocations required to transform one into the other, ignoring the order of g...
