Kearney, Ming Li","doi":"10.1109/SFCS.1998.743492","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1109/SFCS.1998.743492","url":null,"abstract":"Inferring evolutionary trees has long been a challenging problem both for biologists and computer scientists. In recent years research has concentrated on the quartet method paradigm for inferring evolutionary trees. Quartet methods proceed by first inferring the evolutionary history for every set of four species (resulting in a set Q of inferred quarter topologies) and then recombining these inferred quarter topologies to form an evolutionary tree. This paper presents two results on the quartet method paradigm. The first is a polynomial time approximation scheme (PTAS) for recombining the inferred quartet topologies optimally. This is an important result since, to date, there have been no polynomial time algorithms with performance guarantees for quartet methods. In fact, this is the first known PTAS for inferring evolutionary trees under any paradigm. To achieve this result the natural denseness of the set Q is exploited. The second result is a new technique, called quartet cleaning, that detects and corrects errors in the set Q with performance guarantees. This result has particular significance since quartet methods are usually very sensitive to errors in the data. It is shown how quartet cleaning can dramatically increase the accuracy of quartet methods.","PeriodicalId":228145,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings 39th Annual Symposium on Foundations of Computer Science (Cat.

In many on-line problems, however, the time relevant information is available and the time a decision has an effect may be decoupled. For example, when making an investment, one might not have completely up-to-date information on market prices. Similarly, a buy or sell order might only be executed some time later in the future. We introduce and explore natural delayed models for several well-known on-line problems. Our analyses demonstrate the importance of considering timeliness in determining the competitive ratio of an on-line algorithm. For many problems, we demonstrate that there exist algorithms with small competitive ratios even when large delays affect the timeliness of information and the effect of decisions.","PeriodicalId":228145,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings 39th Annual Symposium on Foundations of Computer Science (Cat.

This implies an exponential separation between tree-like and dag-like proofs for both cutting planes and resolution; in both cases only superpolynomial separations were known before. In order to prove this, we extend the lower bounds on the depth of monotone circuits of R. Raz and P. McKenzie (1997) to monotone real circuits. In the case of resolution, we further improve this result by giving an exponential separation of tree-like resolution front (dag-like) regular resolution proofs. In fact, the refutation provided to give the upper bound respects the stronger restriction of being a Davis-Puatam resolution proof. Finally, we prove an exponential separation between Davis-Putnam resolution and unrestricted resolution proofs; only a superpolynomial separations was previously known.","PeriodicalId":228145,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings 39th Annual Symposium on Foundations of Computer Science (Cat.

A divide-and-conquer algorithm for min-cost perfect matching in the plane 平面上最小代价完美匹配的分治算法

We present an O(n/sup 3/2/log/sup 5/ n)-time algorithm for computing a min-cost perfect matching in the plane, which is an improvement over the previous best algorithm of Vaidya [1989) by nearly a factor of n. Vaidya's algorithm is an implementation of the algorithm of Edmonds (1965), which runs in n phases, and computes a matching with i edges at the end of the i-th phase. Vaidya shows that geometry can be exploited to implement a single phase in roughly O(n/sup 3/2/) time, thus obtaining an O(n/sup 5/2/log/sup 4/ n)-time algorithm. We improve upon this in two major ways. First, we develop a variant of Edmonds algorithm that uses geometric divide-and-conquer, so that in the conquer step we need only O(/spl radic/n) phases. Second, we show that a single phase can be implemented in O(n log/sup 5/ n) time.","PeriodicalId":228145,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings 39th Annual Symposium on Foundations of Computer Science (Cat.

For /spl alpha/>0, an n-vertex graph with an independent set S of site /spl alpha/n is constructed by blending random and adversarial decisions. Randomly and independently with probability p, each pair of vertices, such that one is in S and the other is not, is connected by an edge. An adversary can then add edges arbitrarily (provided that S remains an independent set). The smaller p is, the larger the control the adversary has over the semi-random graph. We design heuristics that with high probability recover S when p>(1+/spl epsiv/)ln n/|S|, for any constant /spl epsiv/>0. We show that when p<(1-/spl epsiv/) In n/|S|, an independent set of size |S| cannot be recovered, unless NP/spl sube/BPP.
