Longest Motifs with a Functionally Equivalent Central Block
2004
International audience; This paper presents a generalization of the notion of longest repeats with a block of k don't care symbols introduced by [Crochemore et al., LATIN 2004] (for k fixed) to longest motifs composed of three parts: a first and last that parameterize match (that is, match via some symbol renaming, initially unknown), and a functionally equivalent central block. Such three-part motifs are called longest block motifs. Different types of functional equivalence, and thus of matching criteria for the central block are considered, which include as a subcase the one treated in [Crochemore et al., LATIN 2004] and extend to the case of regular expressions with no Kleene closure or …
An Efficient Algorithm for the Generation of Z-Convex Polyominoes
2014
We present a characterization of Z-convex polyominoes in terms of pairs of suitable integer vectors. This lets us design an algorithm which generates all Z-convex polyominoes of size n in constant amortized time.

Partially Square Graphs, Hamiltonicity and Circumference II
2000
Abstract Given a graph G, its partially square graph G∗ is a graph obtained by adding an edge uv for each pair u, v of vertices of G at distance 2 whenever the vertices u and v have a common neighbor x satisfying the condition NG(x) ⊆ NG[u] ∪ NG[v], where NG[x]= NG(x) ∪ {x}. In case G is a claw-free graph, G∗ is equal to G2, We define σ ∗ t = min{ ∑ x∈ d ∗ G (x): S is an independent set in G ∗ and ∣S∣ = t} , where d ∗ G (x) = ∣{y ∈ V∣ xy ∈ E(G∗)}∣ . We give for hamiltonicity and circumference new sufficient conditions depending on and we improve some known results.
Forbidden words in symbolic dynamics
2000
AbstractWe introduce an equivalence relation≃between functions from N to N. By describing a symbolic dynamical system in terms of forbidden words, we prove that the≃-equivalence class of the function that counts the minimal forbidden words of a system is a topological invariant of the system. We show that the new invariant is independent from previous ones, but it is not characteristic. In the case of sofic systems, we prove that the≃-equivalence of the corresponding functions is a decidable question. As a more special application, we show, by using the new invariant, that two systems associated to Sturmian words having “different slope” are not conjugate.
Exact, efficient, and complete arrangement computation for cubic curves
2006
AbstractThe Bentley–Ottmann sweep-line method can compute the arrangement of planar curves, provided a number of geometric primitives operating on the curves are available. We discuss the reduction of the primitives to the analysis of curves and curve pairs, and describe efficient realizations of these analyses for planar algebraic curves of degree three or less. We obtain a complete, exact, and efficient algorithm for computing arrangements of cubic curves. Special cases of cubic curves are conics as well as implicitized cubic splines and Bézier curves.The algorithm is complete in that it handles all possible degeneracies such as tangential intersections and singularities. It is exact in t…
Analysis of Optimal High Resolution and Fixed Rate Scalar Quantization
2009
In 2001, Hui and Neuhoff proposed a uniform quantizer with overload for the quantization of scalar signals and derived the asymptotically optimal size of the quantization bins in the high-bitrate limit. The purpose of the present paper is to prove a quantitatively more precise version of this result which, at the same time, is valid for a more general, quite natural class of probability distributions that requires only little regularity and includes, for instance, positive Lipschitz-continuous functions of unit integral.
Generation of Valid Labeled Binary Trees
2003
International audience; Generating binary trees is a well-known problem. In this paper, we add some constraints to leaves of these trees. Such trees are used in the morphing of polygons, where a polygon P is represented by a binary tree T and each angle of P is a weight on a leaf of T. In the following, we give two algorithms to generate all binary trees, without repetitions, having the same weight distribution to their leaves and representing all parallel polygons to P.
NP-completeness of the hamming salesman problem
1985
It is shown that the traveling salesman problem, where cities are bit strings with Hamming distances, is NP-complete.
Combinatorics of Finite Words and Suffix Automata
2009
The suffix automaton of a finite word is the minimal deterministic automaton accepting the language of its suffixes. The states of the suffix automaton are the classes of an equivalence relation defined on the set of factors. We explore the relationship between the combinatorial properties of a finite word and the structural properties of its suffix automaton. We give formulas for expressing the total number of states and the total number of edges of the suffix automaton in terms of special factors of the word.
