Abstract. The Longest Common Subsequence (LCS) problem is a classic and well-studied problem in computer science. The LCS problem is a common task in DNA sequence analysis with man...
Let α and β be a partition of {1, . . . , n} into two blocks. A merging network is a network of comparators which allows as input arbitrary real numbers and has the property tha...
Once a new gene has been sequenced, it must be verified whether or not it is similar to previously sequenced genes. In many cases, the organization that sequenced a potentially n...
We determine the limiting distributions of the longest alternating subsequence for pattern-restricted permutations in which the pattern is any one of the six patterns of length th...
In this paper we consider problems related to the sortedness of a data stream. First we investigate the problem of estimating the distance to monotonicity; given a sequence of len...
