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…

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…

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…
