Abstract

The Generalized Discretizable Molecular Distance Geometry Problem is a distance geometry problems that can be solved by a combinatorial algorithm called ``Branch-and-Prune''. It was observed empirically that the number of solutions of YES instances is always a power of two. We give a proof that this event happens with probability one.
