The study of genomic inversions (or reversals) has been a mainstay of computational genomics for nearly 20 years. After the initial breakthrough of Hannenhalli and Pevzner, who gave the first polynomial-time algorithm for sorting signed permutations by inv ...
Let G be a finite group, let p be a prime number, and let K be a field of characteristic 0 and k be a field of characteristic p, both large enough. In this note, we state explicit formulae for the primitive idempotents of the ring of p-permutation kG-modul ...
Background: Given three signed permutations, an inversion median is a fourth permutation that minimizes the sum of the pairwise inversion distances between it and the three others. This problem is NP-hard as well as hard to approximate. Yet median-based ap ...
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 discuss interesting properties of a general technique for inferring polynomial invariants for a subfamily of imperative loops, called the P-solvable loops, with assignments only. The approach combines algorithmic combinatorics, polynomial algebra and co ...
