A Lower Bound on the Transposition Diameter
Sorting permutations by transpositions is an important and difficult problem in genome rearrangements. The transposition diameter TD(n) is the maximum transposition distance among ...

A Lower Bound on the Reversal and Transposition Diameter
One possible model to study genome evolution is to represent genomes as permutations of genes and compute distances based on the minimum number of certain operations (rearrangemen...

Bounding Prefix Transposition Distance for Strings and Permutations
A transposition is an operation that exchanges two adjacent substrings. When it is restricted so that one of the substrings is a prefix, it is called a prefix transposition. The p...

An approximation algorithm for sorting by reversals and transpositions
Abstract. Genome rearrangement algorithms are powerful tools to analyze gene orders in molecular evolution. Analysis of genomes evolving by reversals and transpositions leads to a ...

Shallow-Low-Light Trees, and Tight Lower Bounds for Euclidean Spanners
We show that for every n-point metric space M and positive integer k, there exists a spanning tree T with unweighted diameter O(k) and weight w(T) = O(k · n1/k ) · w(MST(M)), an...
