Abstract. The presence of long gaps dramatically increases the difficulty of detecting and characterizing complex events hidden in long sequences. In order to cope with this proble...
Given a Boolean function f, we study two natural generalizations of the certificate complexity C (f): the randomized certificate complexity RC (f) and the quantum certificate comp...
A common task in biological research is to predict function for proteins by comparing sequences between proteins of known and unknown function. This is often done using pair-wise ...
While Kolmogorov complexity is the accepted absolute measure of information content of an individual finite object, a similarly absolute notion is needed for the relation between a...
We investigate balls-and-bins processes where m weighted balls are placed into n bins using the "power of two choices" paradigm, whereby a ball is inserted into the less...
