In various areas of computer science, we deal with a set of constraints to be satisfied. If the constraints cannot be satisfied simultaneously, it is desirable to identify the core problems among them. Such cores are called minimal…
We study the query complexity of testing for properties defined by read once formulas, as instances of {\em massively parametrized properties}, and prove several testability and non-testability results. First we prove the testability of any…
We develop a new, powerful method for counting elements in a multiset. As a first application, we use this algorithm to study the number of occurrences of patterns in a permutation. For patterns of length 3 there are two Wilf classes, and…
Studies on partition of $I_n$ = $\{1, 2, . . . , n\}$ into subsets $S_1, S_2, . . . , S_x$ so far considered with prescribed sum of the elements in each subset. In this paper, we study constant sum partitions $\{S_1,S_2,...,S_x\}$ of $I_n$…
Random permutation set (RPS), as a recently proposed theory, enables powerful information representation by traversing all possible permutations. However, the repetition of items is not allowed in RPS while it is quite common in real life.…
We propose a new measure of support (the number of occur- rences of a pattern), in which instances are more important if they occur with a certain frequency and close after each other in the stream of trans- actions. We will explain this…
This paper introduces a new comparison base stable sorting algorithm, named RS sort. RS Sort involves only the comparison of pair of elements in an array which ultimately sorts the array and does not involve the comparison of each element…
A family of consistent tests, derived from a characterization of the probability generating function, is proposed for assessing Poissonity against a wide class of count distributions, which includes some of the most frequently adopted…
We consider the sequential composite binary hypothesis testing problem in which one of the hypotheses is governed by a single distribution while the other is governed by a family of distributions whose parameters belong to a known set…
In this paper we show that the following problem is NP-complete: Given an alphabet $\Sigma$ and two strings over $\Sigma$, the question is whether there exists a permutation of $\Sigma$ which is a subsequence of both of the given strings.
The Single Cut or Join (SCJ) operation on genomes, generalizing chromosome evolution by fusions and fissions, is the computationally simplest known model of genome rearrangement. While most genome rearrangement problems are already hard…
For a graph G = (V,E) where each vertex is coloured by one of k colours, consider a subset C of V such that for each vertex v in V\C, its set of nearest neighbours in C contains at least one vertex of the same colour as v. Such a C is…
The $n$-th rencontres number with the parameter $r$ is the number of permutations having exactly $r$ fixed points. In particular, a derangement is a permutation without any fixed point. We presents a short combinatorial proof for a weighted…
We study the feasible region for consecutive patterns of pattern-avoiding permutations. More precisely, given a family $\mathcal C$ of permutations avoiding a fixed set of patterns, we consider the limit of proportions of consecutive…
We study a curious class of partitions, the parts of which obey an exceedingly strict congruence condition we refer to as "sequential congruence": the $m$th part is congruent to the $(m+1)$th part modulo $m$, with the smallest part…
We prove that there exists a constant $c_0$ such that for any $t \in \mathbb{N}$ and any $n\geq c_0 t$, if $A \subset S_n$ is a $t$-intersecting family of permutations then$|A|\leq (n-t)!$. Furthermore, if $|A|\ge 0.75(n-t)!$ then there…
P-time event graphs are discrete event systems able to model cyclic production systems where tasks need to be performed within given time windows. Consistency is the property of admitting an infinite execution of such tasks that does not…
In this work of thesis we introduce and study a new family of sorting devices, which we call pattern-avoiding machines. They consist of two stacks in series, equipped with a greedy procedure. On both stacks we impose a static constraint in…
We prove that the uniform recurrence of morphic sequences is decidable. For this we show that the number of derived sequences of uniformly recurrent morphic sequences is bounded. As a corollary we obtain that uniformly recurrent morphic…
Let $m, n$ be positive integers such that $m>1$ divides $n$. In this paper, we introduce a special class of piecewise-affine permutations of the finite set $[1, n]:=\{1, \ldots, n\}$ with the property that the reduction $\pmod m$ of $m$…
