Duplication is the replacement of a factor w within a word by ww. This operation can be used iteratively to generate languages starting from words or sets of words. By undoing dupl...
Recently the duplication closure of words and languages has received much interest. We investigate a reversal of it: the duplication root reduces a word to a square-free one. After...
We introduce the first exact and efficient algorithm for Guig?o et al.'s problem that, given a collection of rooted, binary gene trees and a rooted, binary species tree, deter...
Large scale gene duplication is a major force driving the evolution of genetic functional innovation. Whole genome duplications are widely believed to have played an important rol...
Abstract. We investigate the computational complexity of a new combinatorial problem of inferring a smallest possible multi-labeled phylogenetic tree (MUL tree) which is consistent...
