Measuring the similarity between rhythms is a fundamental problem in computational music theory, with many applications such as music information retrieval and copyright infringem...
Historical linguistics aims at inferring the most likely language phylogenetic tree starting from information concerning the evolutionary relatedness of languages. The available i...
Let G be a graph embedded in the L1-plane. The stretch factor of G is the maximum over all pairs of distinct vertices p and q of G of the ratio LG 1 (p, q)/L1(p, q), where LG 1 (p...
There are several results available in the literature dealing with efficient construction of t-spanners for a given set S of n points in Rd. t-spanners are Euclidean graphs in whic...
Let C denote a set of n mobile clients, each of which follows a continuous trajectory on a weighted tree T. We establish tight bounds on the maximum relative velocity of the 1-cent...
