In the Minimum Common String Partition problem (MCSP) we are given two strings on input, and we wish to partition them into the same collection of substrings, minimizing the numbe...
We demonstrate that an algorithm proposed by Drineas et. al. in [7] to approximate the singular vectors/values of a matrix A, is not only of theoretical interest but also a fast, v...
We present a lossless compression algorithm, GenCompress, for genetic sequences, based on searching for approximate repeats. Our algorithm achieves the best compression ratios for...
A dominating set of a graph G = (V, E) is a subset V V of the nodes such that for all nodes v V , either v V or a neighbor u of v is in V . Several routing protocols in ad hoc ...

We give near-tight bounds for estimating the edit distance between two non-repetitive strings (Ulam distance) with constant approximation, in sub-linear time. For two strings of l...
