There is, I think, something ethereal about i —the square root of minus one. I remember first hearing about it at school. It seemed an odd beast at that time—an intruder hovering on the edge of reality.

Usually familiarity dulls this sense of the bizarre, but in the case of i it was the reverse: over the years the sense of its surreal nature intensified. It seemed that it was impossible to write mathematics that described the real world in …

I and i

A graph labeling is an assignment of integers to the vertices or edges, or both, subject to certain conditions. Graph labelings were first introduced in the late 1960s. In the intervening years dozens of graph labelings techniques have been studied in over 1000 papers. Finding out what has been done for any particular kind of labeling and keeping up with new discoveries is difficult because of the sheer number of papers and because many of the papers have appeared in journals that are not widely available. In this survey I have collected everything I could find on graph labeling. For the convenience of the reader the survey includes a detailed table of contents and index.

A Dynamic Survey of Graph Labeling

DNA sequencing with chain terminating inhibitors

The vast majority of coding variants are rare, and assessment of the contribution of rare variants to complex traits is hampered by low statistical power and limited functional data. Improved methods for predicting the pathogenicity of rare coding variants are needed to facilitate the discovery of disease variants from exome sequencing studies. We developed REVEL (rare exome variant ensemble learner), an ensemble method for predicting the pathogenicity of missense variants on the basis of individual tools: MutPred, FATHMM, VEST, PolyPhen, SIFT, PROVEAN, MutationAssessor, MutationTaster, LRT, GERP, SiPhy, phyloP, and phastCons. REVEL was trained with recently discovered pathogenic and rare neutral missense variants, excluding those previously used to train its constituent tools. When applied to two independent test sets, REVEL had the best overall performance (p −12 ) as compared to any individual tool and seven ensemble methods: MetaSVM, MetaLR, KGGSeq, Condel, CADD, DANN, and Eigen. Importantly, REVEL also had the best performance for distinguishing pathogenic from rare neutral variants with allele frequencies

In this paper, we present a new and efficient algorithm for solving the LCS problem for two strings. Our algorithm runs in $O(\mathcal R\log\log n + n)$ time, where $\mathcal R$ is the total number of ordered pairs of positions at which the two strings match.

Optimal superprimitivity testing for strings

Here we introduce two new notions of approximate matching with application in computer assisted music analysis. We present algorithms for each notion of approximation: for approximate string matching and for computing approximate squares.

Algorithms for computing approximate repetitions in musical sequences

In this paper, we study the pattern matching problem in given intervals. Depending on whether the intervals are given a priori for pre-processing, or during the query along with the pattern or, even in both cases, we develop solutions for different variants of this problem. In particular, we present efficient indexing schemes for each of the above variants of the problem.
