The study of random instances of NP complete and coNP complete problems has had much impact on our understanding of the nature of hard problems. In this work, we initiate an effor...
We show that Edge Dominating Set, Hamiltonian Cycle, and Graph Coloring are W[1]-hard parameterized by clique-width. It was an open problem, explicitly mentioned in several papers,...

A central question in computational biology is the design of genetic markers to distinguish between two given sets of (DNA) sequences. This question is formalized as the NP-comple...
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...
