On the variance of average distance of subsets in the Hamming space
نویسندگان
چکیده
Let V be a finite set with q distinct elements. For a subset C of V n, denote var(C) the variance of the average Hamming distance of C. Let T (n,M; q) andR(n,M; q) denote the minimum and maximum variance of the average Hamming distance of subsets of V n with cardinalityM, respectively. In this paper, we study T (n,M; q) and R(n,M; q) for general q. Using methods from coding theory, we derive upper and lower bounds on var(C), which generalize and unify the bounds for the case q = 2. These bounds enable us to determine the exact value for T (n,M; q) and R(n,M; q) in several cases. © 2004 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

On the Structure of Metric-like Spaces
The main purpose of this paper is to introduce several concepts of the metric-like spaces. For instance, we define concepts such as equal-like points, cluster points and completely separate points. Furthermore, this paper is an attempt to present compatibility definitions for the distance between a point and a subset of a metric-like space and also for the distance between two subsets of a metr...
متن کاملInverse Maximum Dynamic Flow Problem under the Sum-Type Weighted Hamming Distance
Inverse maximum flow (IMDF), is among the most important problems in the field ofdynamic network flow, which has been considered the Euclidean norms measure in previousresearches. However, recent studies have mainly focused on the inverse problems under theHamming distance measure due to their practical and important applications. In this paper,we studies a general approach for handling the inv...
متن کاملOn the inverse maximum perfect matching problem under the bottleneck-type Hamming distance
Given an undirected network G(V,A,c) and a perfect matching M of G, the inverse maximum perfect matching problem consists of modifying minimally the elements of c so that M becomes a maximum perfect matching with respect to the modified vector. In this article, we consider the inverse problem when the modifications are measured by the weighted bottleneck-type Hamming distance. We propose an alg...
متن کاملThe Distance Approach to Approximate Combinatorial Counting
We develop general methods to obtain fast (polynomial time) estimates of the cardinality of a combinatorially defined set via solving some randomly generated optimization problems on the set. Examples include enumeration of perfect matchings in a graph, linearly independent subsets of a set of vectors and colored spanning subgraphs of a graph. Geometrically, we estimate the cardinality of a sub...
متن کاملFeature Selection Using Multi Objective Genetic Algorithm with Support Vector Machine
Different approaches have been proposed for feature selection to obtain suitable features subset among all features. These methods search feature space for feature subsets which satisfies some criteria or optimizes several objective functions. The objective functions are divided into two main groups: filter and wrapper methods. In filter methods, features subsets are selected due to some measu...
