We introduce a variant of Aldous and Vazirani's \Go with the winners" algorithm that can be used for search graphs that are not trees. We analyze the algorithm in terms ...
We consider a large class of sequences, called admissible sequences, which are defined by systems of (possibly nonlinear) difference equations. A procedure for recursively enumera...
-fields are a very general class of difference fields that enable one to discover and prove multisum identities arising in combinatorics and special functions. In this article we f...

We consider online scheduling of splittable tasks on parallel machines. In our model, each task can be split into a limited number of parts, that can then be scheduled independentl...
Homologousproteins do not necessarily exhibit identical biochemicalfunction. Despitethis fact, local or global sequence similarity is widely used as an indication of functional id...
