Predicting the secondary structure of an RNA sequence is an important problem in structural bioinformatics. The general RNA folding problem, where the sequence to be folded may con...
Abstract. The constraint satisfaction problem can be solved in polynomial time for instances where certain parameters (e.g., the treewidth of primal graphs) are bounded. However, t...
Given that most elementary problems in database design are NP-hard, the currently used database design algorithms produce suboptimal results. For example, the current 3NF decompos...
Abstract. We study Facility Location games played by n agents situated on the nodes of a graph. Each agent orders installation of a facility at a node of the graph and pays connect...
