Let G = (V, E) be an undirected weighted graph with |V | = n and |E| = m. Let k 1 be an integer. We show that G = (V, E) can be preprocessed in O(kmn1/k ) expected time, construc...
Using concepts from rough set theory we investigate the existence of approximative descriptions of collections of objects that can be extracted from data sets, a problem of intere...
We present a new polynomial time approximation scheme (PTAS) for tree alignment, which is an important variant of multiple sequence alignment. As in the existing PTASs in the liter...
We apply the Message from Monte Carlo (MMC) algorithm to inference of univariate polynomials. MMC is an algorithm for point estimation from a Bayesian posterior sample. It partiti...
We consider a special subgraph of a weighted directed graph: one comprising only the k heaviest edges incoming to each vertex. We show that the maximum weight branching in this su...
