We introduce a new number system that supports increments with a constant number of digit changes. We also give a simple method that extends any number system supporting increments...
languages into a general system for describing parsers. Eachparser performs abstract computations using theoperations ofasemiring. Thesystem allows asingle, simple representation t...
We consider the following problem: given a forest of gene family trees on a set of genomes, find a first speciation which splits these genomes into two subsets and minimizes the ...
We give tight bounds on the parallel complexity of some problems involving random graphs. Speci cally, we show that a Hamiltonian cycle, a breadth rst spanning tree, and a maximal...
Abstract. Maximum likelihood (ML) is an increasingly popular optimality criterion for selecting evolutionary trees [Felsenstein 1981]. Finding optimal ML trees appears to be a very...
