On the Inapproximability of Vertex Cover on k-Partite k-Uniform Hypergraphs
Computing a minimum vertex cover in graphs and hypergraphs is a well-studied optimizaton problem. While intractable in general, it is well known that on bipartite graphs, vertex c...

Parameterized Intractability of Distinguishing Substring Selection
A central question in computational biology is the design of genetic markers to distinguish between two given sets of (DNA) sequences. This question is formalized as the NP-comple...

Drawing Binary Tanglegrams: An Experimental Evaluation
A tanglegram is a pair of trees whose leaf sets are in oneto-one correspondence; matching leaves are connected by inter-tree edges. In applications such as phylogenetics or hierar...

On the computational complexity and effectiveness of N-hub shortest-path routing
Abstract-- In this paper we study the computational complexity and effectiveness of a concept we term "N-hub ShortestPath Routing" in IP networks. N-hub Shortest-Path Rou...
