The reduction of the fragment assembly problem to (variations of) the classical Eulerian trail problem [Pevzner et al., PNAS 2001] has led to remarkable progress in genome assembly. This reduction employs the notion of de Bruijn graph…
This paper studies the problem of encoding messages into sequences which can be uniquely recovered from some noisy observations about their substrings. The observed reads comprise consecutive substrings with some given minimum overlap. This…
We study the convolutional phase retrieval problem, of recovering an unknown signal $\mathbf x \in \mathbb C^n $ from $m$ measurements consisting of the magnitude of its cyclic convolution with a given kernel $\mathbf a \in \mathbb C^m $.…
We study word reconstruction problems. Improving a previous result by P. Fleischmann, M. Lejeune, F. Manea, D. Nowotka and M. Rigo, we prove that, for any unknown word $w$ of length $n$ over an alphabet of cardinality $k$, $w$ can be…
Spectral reconstruction is a well studied numerically ill-posed problem which arises due to the relation of the Euclidean correlator to the spectral function via an inhomogeneous Fredholm equation of the first kind. Several different…
Motivated by studies of data retrieval in polymer-based storage systems, we consider the problem of reconstructing a multiset of binary strings that have the same length and the same weight from the compositions of their prefixes and…
We consider a Markov chain X_1, X_2, ..., X_n belonging to a class of iterated random functions, which is "one-step contracting" with respect to some distance d. If f is any separately Lipschitz function with respect to d, we use a well…
V. Levenshtein first proposed the sequence reconstruction problem in 2001. This problem studies the model where the same sequence from some set is transmitted over multiple channels, and the decoder receives the different outputs. Assume…
Levenshtein first introduced the sequence reconstruction problem in $2001$. In the realm of combinatorics, the sequence reconstruction problem is equivalent to determining the value of $N(n,d,t)$, which represents the maximum size of the…
Evaluation of residual elastic strain within the bulk of engineering components or natural objects is a challenging task, since in general it requires mapping a six-component tensor quantity in three dimensions. A further challenge concerns…
Recent development in the reconstruction of the large-scale structure (LSS) has seen significant improvement in restoring the linear baryonic acoustic oscillation (BAO) from at least the non-linear matter field. This outstanding performance…
Consider a simple random walk on $\mathbb{Z}$ with a random coloring of $\mathbb{Z}$. Look at the sequence of the first $N$ steps taken in the random walk, together with the colors of the visited locations. We call this the record. From the…
In this paper, we consider a synchronization problem between nodes $A$ and $B$ that are connected through a two--way communication channel. {Node $A$} contains a binary file $X$ of length $n$ and {node $B$} contains a binary file $Y$ that…
We consider a signal reconstruction problem for signals $F$ of the form $ F(x)=\sum_{j=1}^{d}a_{j}\delta\left(x-x_{j}\right),$ from their moments $m_k(F)=\int x^kF(x)dx.$ We assume $m_k(F)$ to be known for $k=0,1,\ldots,N,$ with an absolute…
Let $\mathcal{Q}$ be a vertex subset problem on graphs. In a reconfiguration variant of $\mathcal{Q}$ we are given a graph $G$ and two feasible solutions $S_s, S_t\subseteq V(G)$ of $\mathcal{Q}$ with $|S_s|=|S_t|=k$. The problem is to…

We investigate the problem of encoding data into an $(n, t)$-break-resilient code ($(n, t)$-BRC), i.e., a collections of sequences of length~$n$ from which the original data can be reconstructed even if they are adversarially broken at up…
In this work we develop an algorithm for signal reconstruction from the magnitude of its Fourier transform in a situation where some (non-zero) parts of the sought signal are known. Although our method does not assume that the known part…
The general trace reconstruction problem seeks to recover an original sequence from its noisy copies independently corrupted by deletions, insertions, and substitutions. This problem arises in applications such as DNA data storage, a…
