Hypergraph Covering Problems Motivated by Genome Assembly Questions
نویسندگان
چکیده
The Consecutive-Ones Property (C1P) is a classical concept in discrete mathematics that has been used in several genomics applications, from physical mapping of contemporary genomes to the assembly of ancient genomes. A common issue in genome assembly concerns repeats, genomic sequences that appear in several locations of a genome. Handling repeats leads to a variant of the C1P, the C1P with multiplicity (mC1P), that can also be seen as the problem of covering edges of hypergraphs by linear and circular walks. In the present work, we describe variants of the mC1P that address specific issues of genome assembly, and polynomial time or fixed-parameter algorithms to solve them.

Approximation algorithms for the k-clique covering problems
The problem of covering edges and vertices in a graph (or in a hypergraph) was motivated by a problem arising in the context of the component assembly problem. The problem is as follows: given a graph and a clique size k, find the minimum number of k-cliques such that all edges and vertices of the graph are covered by (included in) the cliques. This paper provides a collection of approximation ...

متن کاملHow Team Interlock Ecosystems Shape the Assembly of Scientific Teams: A Hypergraph Approach
Today’s most pressing scientific problems necessitate scientific teamwork; the increasing complexity and specialization of knowledge render “lone geniuses” ill-equipped to make high-impact scientific breakthroughs. Social network research has begun to explore the factors that promote the assembly of scientific teams. However, this work has been limited by network approaches centered conceptuall...
متن کاملOn Tensor Powers of Integer Programs
We de ne a natural product on integer programming problems with nonnegative coe cients. Hypergraph covering problems are a special case of such integer programs, and the product we de ne is a generalization of the usual hypergraph product. The main theorem of this paper gives a su cient condition under which the solution to the nth power of an integer program is asymptotically as good as the so...
متن کاملIterative Packing for Demand and Hypergraph Matching
Iterative rounding has enjoyed tremendous success in elegantly resolving open questions regarding the approximability of problems dominated by covering constraints. Although iterative rounding methods have been applied to packing problems, no single method has emerged that matches the effectiveness and simplicity afforded by the covering case. We offer a simple iterative packing technique that ...
