—DNA matching is a crucial step in sequence alignment. Since sequence alignment is an approximate matching process there is a need for good approximate algorithms. The process of...

We consider the problem of maintaining a large matching or a small vertex cover in a dynamically changing graph. Each update to the graph is either an edge deletion or an edge ins...
Matching dependencies were recently introduced as declarative rules for data cleaning and entity resolution. Enforcing a matching dependency on a database instance identifies the ...

We study the worst-case performance of the maximal matching heuristic applied to the Minimum Vertex Cover and Minimum Maximal Matching problems, through a careful analysis of tigh...
We provide new combinatorial theorems on the structure of graphs that are contained as contractions in graphs of large treewidth. As a consequence of our combinatorial results we u...
