Approximating the Expected Number of Inversions Given the Number of Breakpoints
نویسنده
چکیده
We look at a problem with motivation from computational biology: Given the number of breakpoints in a permutation (representing a gene sequence), compute the expected number of inversions that have occured. For this problem, we obtain an analytic approximation that is correct within a percent or two. For the inverse problem, computing the expected number of breakpoints after any number of inversions, we obtain an analytic approximation with an error of less than a hundredth of a breakpoint.

متن کاملStudy of Temperature and Salinity Inversions in the Oman Sea
In this research, observational data are analyzed to explain temperature and salinity inversions and double diffusion in the Oman Sea. The results of this paper show that intrusive structures extend over a depth of about 100-450 meters in the Oman Sea. Temperature and salinity inversions observed depth of 250 m in winter and summer in the Oman Sea. Steps thickness is about 10 to 20 meters. A wa...
متن کاملApproximate counting of inversions in a data
Inversions are used as a fundamental quantity to measure the sortedness of data, to evaluate diierent ranking methods for databases, and in the context of rank aggregation. Considering the volume of the data sets in these applications, the data stream model 16, 2] is a natural setting to design eecient algorithms. We obtain a suite of space-eecient streaming algorithms for approximating the num...
متن کاملMultiple and diverse structural changes affect the breakpoint regions of polymorphic inversions across the Drosophila genus
Chromosomal polymorphism is widespread in the Drosophila genus, with extensive evidence supporting its adaptive character in diverse species. Moreover, inversions are the major contributors to the genus chromosomal evolution. The molecular characterization of a reduced number of polymorphic inversion breakpoints in Drosophila melanogaster and Drosophila subobscura supports that their inversions...
متن کاملMultistep collocation method for nonlinear delay integral equations
The main purpose of this paper is to study the numerical solution of nonlinear Volterra integral equations with constant delays, based on the multistep collocation method. These methods for approximating the solution in each subinterval are obtained by fixed number of previous steps and fixed number of collocation points in current and next subintervals. Also, we analyze the convergence of the...
