In physical mapping, one orders a set of genetic landmarks or a library of cloned fragments of DNA according to their position in the genome. Our approach to physical mapping divi...
This paper continues the investigation of the connection between probabilistically checkable proofs PCPs the approximability of NP-optimization problems. The emphasis is on prov...
