Abstract
SIAM Journal on Discrete Mathematics, Volume 38, Issue 1, Page 190-224, March 2024. Abstract. A Robinson space is a dissimilarity space [math] (i.e., a set [math] of size [math] and a dissimilarity [math] on [math]) for which there exists a total order [math] on [math] such that [math] implies that [math]. Recognizing if a dissimilarity space is Robinson has numerous applications in seriation and classification. An mmodule of [math] (generalizing the notion of a module in graph theory) is a subset [math] of [math] which is not distinguishable from the outside of [math]; i.e., the distance from any point of [math] to all points of [math] is the same. If [math] is any point of [math], then [math], and the maximal-by-inclusion mmodules of [math] not containing [math] define a partition of [math], called the copoint partition. In this paper, we investigate the structure of mmodules in Robinson spaces and use it and the copoint partition to design a simple and practical divide-and-conquer algorithm for recognition of Robinson spaces in optimal [math] time.
期刊介绍:
SIAM Journal on Discrete Mathematics (SIDMA) publishes research papers of exceptional quality in pure and applied discrete mathematics, broadly interpreted. The journal''s focus is primarily theoretical rather than empirical, but the editors welcome papers that evolve from or have potential application to real-world problems. Submissions must be clearly written and make a significant contribution.
Topics include but are not limited to:
properties of and extremal problems for discrete structures
combinatorial optimization, including approximation algorithms
algebraic and enumerative combinatorics
coding and information theory
additive, analytic combinatorics and number theory
combinatorial matrix theory and spectral graph theory
design and analysis of algorithms for discrete structures
discrete problems in computational complexity
discrete and computational geometry
discrete methods in computational biology, and bioinformatics
probabilistic methods and randomized algorithms.
