On the Complexity of Partial Order Properties
The recognition complexityof ordered set properties is considered, i.e.how many questions have to be asked to decide if an unknown ordered set has a prescribed property. We prove ...

Reconciling Data Compression and Kolmogorov Complexity
While data compression and Kolmogorov complexity are both about effective coding of words, the two settings differ in the following respect. A compression algorithm or compressor...

On the Positive-Negative Partial Set Cover problem
The Positive-Negative Partial Set Cover problem is introduced and its complexity, especially the hardness-of-approximation, is studied. The problem generalizes the Set Cover probl...

Complexity-Distortion Tradeoffs in Vector Matching Based on Probabilistic Partial Distance Techniques
In this paper we consider the problem of searching for the best match for an input among a set of vectors, according to some predetermined metric. Examples of this problem include...

Hairpin Structures Defined by DNA Trajectories
We examine scattered hairpins, which are structures formed when a single strand of nucleotides folds into a partially hybridized stem and a loop. To specify different classes of h...
