Background: The number of gene sequences that are available for comparative genomics approaches is increasing extremely quickly. A current challenge is to be able to handle this h...
A 2-cover is a multiset of subsets of [n] := {1, 2, . . . , n} such that each element of [n] lies in exactly two of the subsets. A 2-cover is called proper if all of the subsets o...
Chung and Ross (SIAM J. Comput., 20, 1991) conjectured that the minimum number m(n, r) of middle-state switches for the symmetric 3-stage Clos network C(n, m(n, r), r) to be rearr...
The nth crossing number of a graph G, denoted crn(G), is the minimum number of crossings in a drawing of G on an orientable surface of genus n. We prove that for every a > b &g...
Erdos posed the problem of finding conditions on a graph G that imply t(G) = b(G), where t(G) is the largest number of edges in a triangle-free subgraph and b(G) is the largest nu...
