We consider the problem of permutation reconstruction, which is a variant of graph reconstruction. Given a permutation p of length n, we delete k of its entries in each possible w...
In the game of Penney Ante two players take turns publicly selecting two distinct words of length n using letters from an alphabet of size q. They roll a fair q sided die having ...
With a graph G = (V, E) we associate a collection of non-negative real weights vV {i,v : 1 i m} uvE{ij,uv : 1 i j m}. We consider the probability distribution on {f : V {1,...
Many real-life scheduling, routing and location problems can be formulated as combinatorial optimization problems whose goal is to find a linear layout of an input graph in such a ...
Given an ordered labeled forest F ("the target forest") and an ordered labeled forest G ("the pattern forest"), the most similar subforest problem is to find a ...
