The spectrum of a graph has been widely used in graph theory to characterise the properties of a graph and extract information from its structure. It has also been employed as a g...
Background: Structure-dependent substitution matrices increase the accuracy of sequence alignments when the 3D structure of one sequence is known, and are successful e.g. in fold ...
Total path length, or search cost, for a rooted tree is defined as the sum of all root-to-node distances. Let Tn be the total path length for a random recursive tree of order n. M...
Abstract. A major task in evolutionary biology is to determine the ancestral relationships among the known species, a process generally referred as phylogenetic reconstruction. In ...
