Improved bounds for cops-and-robber pursuit
We prove that n cops can capture (that is, some cop can get less than unit distance from) a robber in a continuous square region with side length less than √ 5n and hence that n/...

A 5/3-Approximation for Finding Spanning Trees with Many Leaves in Cubic Graphs
For a connected graph G, let L(G) denote the maximum number of leaves in a spanning tree in G. The problem of computing L(G) is known to be NP-hard even for cubic graphs. We improv...

Reconstructing Strings from Substrings in Rounds
We establish a variety of combinatorial bounds on the tradeo s inherent in reconstructing strings using few rounds of a given number of substring queries per round. These results ...

Qualitative polyline similarity testing with applications to query-by-sketch, indexing and classification
We present an algorithm for polyline (and polygon) similarity testing that is based on the double-cross formalism. To determine the degree of similarity between two polylines, the...

Solving #SAT using vertex covers
Abstract We propose an exact algorithm for counting the models of propositional formulas in conjunctive normal form (CNF). Our algorithm is based on the detection of strong backdoo...
