A k-noncrossing RNA pseudoknot structure is a graph over $\{1,...,n\}$ without 1-arcs, i.e. arcs of the form (i,i+1) and in which there exists no k-set of mutually intersecting arcs. In particular, RNA secondary structures are 2-noncrossing…
In this paper we study the distribution of stacks in $k$-noncrossing, $\tau$-canonical RNA pseudoknot structures ($<k,\tau> $-structures). An RNA structure is called $k$-noncrossing if it has no more than $k-1$ mutually crossing arcs and…
In this paper we derive polynomial time algorithms that generate random $k$-noncrossing matchings and $k$-noncrossing RNA structures with uniform probability. Our approach employs the bijection between $k$-noncrossing matchings and…

In this paper we compute the limit distributions of the numbers of hairpin-loops, interior-loops and bulges in k-noncrossing RNA structures. The latter are coarse grained RNA structures allowing for cross-serial interactions, subject to the…

In this paper we study irreducibility in RNA structures. By RNA structure we mean RNA secondary as well as RNA pseudoknot structures. In our analysis we shall contrast random and minimum free energy (mfe) configurations. We compute various…
In this paper we prove a duality between $k$-noncrossing partitions over $[n]=\{1,...,n\}$ and $k$-noncrossing braids over $[n-1]$. This duality is derived directly via (generalized) vacillating tableaux which are in correspondence to…
In this paper we show how to express RNA tertiary interactions via the concepts of tangled diagrams. Tangled diagrams allow to formulate RNA base triples and pseudoknot-interactions and to control the maximum number of mutually crossing…

In this paper we study $k$-noncrossing RNA structures with arc-length $\ge 3$, i.e. RNA molecules in which for any $i$, the nucleotides labeled $i$ and $i+j$ ($j=1,2$) cannot form a bond and in which there are at most $k-1$ mutually…
