We consider the following "efficiently decodable" nonadaptive group testing problem. There is an unknown string x {0, 1}n with at most d ones in it. We are allowed to t...
We study a natural network creation game, in which each node locally tries to minimize its local diameter or its local average distance to other nodes, by swapping one incident ed...

We consider the problem of finding pairs of short patterns such that, in a given input sequence of length n, the distance between each pair’s patterns is at least α. The proble...
Multiple Sequence Alignment (MSA) is one of the most fundamental problems in computational molecular biology. The running time of the best known scheme for finding an optimal ali...
We prove a lower bound for swapping the order of Arthur and Merlin in two-round MerlinArthur games using black-box techniques. Namely, we show that any AM-game requires time (t2 )...
