A weighted sequence is a string in which a set of characters may appear at each position with respective probabilities of occurrence. A common task is to locate a given motif in a ...
The mean running time of a Las Vegas algorithm can often be dramatically reduced by periodically restarting it with a fresh random seed. The optimal restart schedule depends on th...

Abstract. Semidefinite relaxations are known to deliver good approximations for combinatorial optimization problems like graph bisection. Using the spectral bundle method it is pos...
We show that an important and computationally challenging solution space feature of the graph coloring problem (COL), namely the number of clusters of solutions, can be accurately...
Planning is known to be a difficult task. One of the approaches used to reduce this difficulty is problem decomposition under divide-and-conquer methodology. This paper introduce...
