As more and more genomes are sequenced, evolutionary biologists are becoming increasingly interested in evolution at the level of whole genomes, in scenarios in which the genome evolves through insertions, deletions, and movements of genes along its chromo ...
Polarization codes were recently introduced by Ar\i kan. They are explicit code constructions which achieve the capacity of arbitrary symmetric binary-input discrete memoryless channels (and even extensions thereof) under a low complexity successive decodi ...

We derive a branch-and-bound algorithm to find an optimal inversion median of three signed permutations. The algorithm prunes to manageable size an extremely large search tree using simple geometric properties of the problem and a newly available linear-ti ...
We investigate the question when a cyclic code is maximum distance separable (MDS). For codes of (co-)dimension 3, this question is related to permutation properties of the polynomial (xb - 1)/(x - 1) for a certain b. Using results on these polynomials we ...
We consider the problem of providing delay bounds to reserved traffic in high-speed input-queued switches. We assume that the matrix of bandwidth demands is known and we use the now standard approach of decomposing this matrix into a convex combination of ...
Combinatorial optimization problems related to permutations have been widely studied. Here, we consider different generalizations of the usual coloring problem in permutation graphs. A cocoloring is a partition of a permutation into increasing and decreasi ...
A formalized theory of alpha-conversion for the pi-calculus in Isabelle/HOL is presented. Following a recent proposal by Gabbay and Pitts, substitutions are modelled in terms of permutations, and alpha-equivalence is defined over all but finitely many name ...
We consider the problem of providing delay bounds to reserved traffic in high-speed input-queued switches. We assume that the matrix of bandwidth demands is known and we use the now standard approach of decomposing this matrix into a convex combination of ...
Inversion in Galois Fields is a famous primitive permutation for designing cryptographic algorithms e.g. for Rijndael because it has suitable differential and linear properties. Inputs and outputs are usually transformed by addition (e.g. XOR) to key bits. ...
