Abstract. Symmetry is a common feature of many combinatorial problems. Unfortunately eliminating all symmetry from a problem is often computationally intractable. This paper argues...
The NP-hard Interval Constrained Coloring (ICC) problem appears in the interpretation of experimental data in biochemistry dealing with protein fragments. Given a set of m integer...

Given a string x and a language L, the Hamming distance of x to L is the minimum Hamming distance of x to any string in L. The edit distance of a string to a language is analogous...
One approach to tractably finding a solution to an NP-complete optimisation problem is heuristic, where the solution is inexact but quickly found; another approach is to reduce t...
