Recent advances in bipartite consensus on matrix-weighted networks, where agents are divided into two disjoint sets with those in the same set agreeing on a certain value and those in different sets converging to opposite values, have…
Given two rooted phylogenetic trees on the same set of taxa X, the Maximum Agreement Forest problem (MAF) asks to find a forest that is, in a certain sense, common to both trees and has a minimum number of components. The Maximum Acyclic…
An evolutionary tree (phylogenetic tree) is a binary, rooted, unordered tree that models the evolutionary history of currently living species in which leaves are labeled by species. In this paper, we investigate the problem of finding the…
In recent years many algorithms have been developed for finding patterns in graphs and networks. A disadvantage of these algorithms is that they use subgraph isomorphism to determine the support of a graph pattern; subgraph isomorphism is a…
A consensus tree is a phylogenetic tree that captures the similarity between a set of conflicting phylogenetic trees. The problem of computing a consensus tree is a major step in phylogenetic tree reconstruction. It also finds applications…
In a bounded max-coloring of a vertex/edge weighted graph, each color class is of cardinality at most $b$ and of weight equal to the weight of the heaviest vertex/edge in this class. The bounded max-vertex/edge-coloring problems ask for…
We present an algorithm that enumerates all the perfect matchings in a given bipartite graph G = (V,E). Our algorithm requires a constant amortized time to visit one perfect matching of G, in contrast to the current fastest algorithm,…
Motivated by the problem of maintaining data structures for a large sets of points that are evolving over the course of time, we consider the problem of maintaining a set of labels assigned to the vertices of a tree, where the locations of…
In this paper, we introduce the notion of Cartesian Forest, which generalizes Cartesian Trees, in order to deal with partially ordered sequences. We show that algorithms that solve both exact and approximate Cartesian Tree Matching can be…

A recent work shows how we can optimize a tree based mode of operation for a rate 1 hash function. In particular, an algorithm and a theorem are presented for selecting a good tree topology in order to optimize both the running time and the…
Machine learning has an emerging critical role in high-performance computing to modulate simulations, extract knowledge from massive data, and replace numerical models with efficient approximations. Decision forests are a critical tool…
The class of self-nested trees presents remarkable compression properties because of the systematic repetition of subtrees in their structure. In this paper, we provide a better combinatorial characterization of this specific family of…
Treemaps have been widely applied to the visualization of hierarchical data. A treemap takes a weighted tree and visualizes its leaves in a nested planar geometric shape, with sub-regions partitioned such that each sub-region has an area…
Let $G$ be an undirected bipartite graph with positive integer weights on the edges. We refine the existing decomposition theorem originally proposed by Kao et al., for computing maximum weight bipartite matching. We apply it to design an…
An L(2,1)-labeling of a graph $G$ is an assignment $f$ from the vertex set $V(G)$ to the set of nonnegative integers such that $|f(x)-f(y)|\ge 2$ if $x$ and $y$ are adjacent and $|f(x)-f(y)|\ge 1$ if $x$ and $y$ are at distance 2, for all…
Decision trees have been a very popular class of predictive models for decades due to their interpretability and good performance on categorical features. However, they are not always robust and tend to overfit the data. Additionally, if…
We present a complete classification of the deterministic distributed time complexity for a family of graph problems: binary labeling problems in trees. These are locally checkable problems that can be encoded with an alphabet of size two…
In this article, we propose tree edit distance with variables, which is an extension of the tree edit distance to handle trees with variables and has a potential application to measuring the similarity between mathematical formulas,…
A matching of a graph is a subset of edges no two of which share a common vertex, and a maximum matching is a matching of maximum cardinality. In a $b$-matching every vertex $v$ has an associated bound $b_v$, and a maximum $b$-matching is a…
