We show how to chain maximal exact matches (MEMs) between a query string $Q$ and a labeled directed acyclic graph (DAG) $G=(V,E)$ to solve the longest common subsequence (LCS) problem between $Q$ and $G$. We obtain our result via a new…
Series-parallel (SP) graphs are binary edge-labeled graphs with a designated source and target vertex, built using serial and parallel composition. A set of graphs is recognizable if membership depends only on its image under a homomorphism…

Laplace learning is a popular machine learning algorithm for finding missing labels from a small number of labelled feature vectors using the geometry of a graph. More precisely, Laplace learning is based on minimising a graph-Dirichlet…
