We present an algorithm for phylogenetic reconstruction using quartets that returns the correct topology for $n$ taxa in $O(n \log n)$ time with high probability, in a probabilistic model where a quartet is not consistent with the true…
Cartesian tree pattern matching consists of finding all the factors of a text that have the same Cartesian tree than a given pattern. There already exist theoretical and practical solutions for the exact case. In this paper, we propose the…
We study the algorithmic problem of optimally covering a tree with $k$ mobile robots. The tree is known to all robots, and our goal is to assign a walk to each robot in such a way that the union of these walks covers the whole tree. We…

Given a graph $G = (V, E)$, we wish to compute a spanning tree whose maximum vertex degree, i.e. tree degree, is as small as possible. Computing the exact optimal solution is known to be NP-hard, since it generalizes the Hamiltonian path…
Consider the following generalization of the classic binary search problem: a searcher is required to find a hidden vertex $x$ in a tree $T$. To do so, they iteratively perform queries to an oracle, each about a chosen vertex $v$. After…
The intersection graph of a collection of trapezoids with corner points lying on two parallel lines is called a trapezoid graph. Using binary indexed tree data structure, we improve algorithms for calculating the size and the number of…
Consider a pair of plane straight-line graphs, whose edges are colored red and blue, respectively, and let n be the total complexity of both graphs. We present a O(n log n)-time O(n)-space technique to preprocess such pair of graphs, that…
We consider the problem of maintaining an approximate maximum integral matching in a dynamic graph $G$, while the adversary makes changes to the edges of the graph. The goal is to maintain a $(1+\epsilon)$-approximate maximum matching for…
The order preserving pattern matching (OPPM) problem is, given a pattern string $p$ and a text string $t$, find all substrings of $t$ which have the same relative orders as $p$. In this paper, we consider two variants of the OPPM problem…
We give a fully dynamic algorithm maintaining a $(1-\varepsilon)$-approximate directed densest subgraph in $\tilde{O}(\log^3(n)/\varepsilon^6)$ amortized time or $\tilde{O}(\log^4(n)/\varepsilon^7)$ worst-case time per edge update (where…
Let G be a bipartite graph with positive integer weights on the edges and without isolated nodes. Let n, N and W be the node count, the largest edge weight and the total weight of G. Let k(x,y) be log(x)/log(x^2/y). We present a new…
Decision tree learning is a widely used approach in machine learning, favoured in applications that require concise and interpretable models. Heuristic methods are traditionally used to quickly produce models with reasonably high accuracy.…
It is well-known that every $n$-vertex planar graph with minimum degree 3 has a matching of size at least $\frac{n}{3}$. But all proofs of this use the Tutte-Berge-formula for the size of a maximum matching. Hence these proofs are not…

We present an $O(n^2)$-time algorithm to test whether an $n$-vertex directed partial $2$-tree is upward planar. This result improves upon the previously best known algorithm, which runs in $O(n^4)$ time.
In the dynamic approximate maximum bipartite matching problem we are given bipartite graph $G$ undergoing updates and our goal is to maintain a matching of $G$ which is large compared the maximum matching size $\mu(G)$. We define a dynamic…
