Approximating edit distance in near-linear time
We show how to compute the edit distance between two strings of length n up to a factor of 2 ~O( log n) in n1+o(1) time. This is the first sub-polynomial approximation algorithm f...

Approximating the Crossing Number of Graphs Embeddable in Any Orientable Surface
The crossing number of a graph is the least number of pairwise edge crossings in a drawing of the graph in the plane. We provide an O(n log n) time constant factor approximation al...

Accelerating convergence using rough sets theory for multi-objective optimization problems
We propose the use of rough sets theory to improve the first approximation provided by a multi-objective evolutionary algorithm and retain the nondominated solutions using a new ...

Asymmetric Traveling Salesman Path and Directed Latency Problems
We study integrality gaps and approximability of two closely related problems on directed graphs. Given a set V of n nodes in an underlying asymmetric metric and two specified nod...

Computational RNA secondary structure design: empirical complexity and improved methods
Background: We investigate the empirical complexity of the RNA secondary structure design problem, that is, the scaling of the typical difficulty of the design task for various cl...
