Combinatorial Aspects of Minimal DNA Expressions
نویسندگان
چکیده
We describe a formal language/notation for DNA molecules that may contain nicks and gaps. The elements of the language, DNA expressions, denote formal DNA molecules. Different DNA expressions may denote the same formal DNA molecule. We analyse the shortest DNA expressions denoting a given formal DNA molecule: what is their length, how are they constructed, how many of them are there, and how can they be characterized.

All Ramsey (2K2,C4)−Minimal Graphs
Let F, G and H be non-empty graphs. The notation F → (G,H) means that if any edge of F is colored by red or blue, then either the red subgraph of F con- tains a graph G or the blue subgraph of F contains a graph H. A graph F (without isolated vertices) is called a Ramsey (G,H)−minimal if F → (G,H) and for every e ∈ E(F), (F − e) 9 (G,H). The set of all Ramsey (G,H)−minimal graphs is denoted by ...
متن کاملSome combinatorial aspects of finite Hamiltonian groups
In this paper we provide explicit formulas for the number of elements/subgroups/cyclic subgroups of a given order and for the total number of subgroups/cyclic subgroups in a finite Hamiltonian group. The coverings with three proper subgroups and the principal series of such a group are also counted. Finally, we give a complete description of the lattice of characteristic subgroups of a finite H...
متن کاملMaking DNA Expressions Minimal
DNA expressions constitute a formal notation for DNAmolecules that may contain nicks and gaps. Different DNA expressions may denote the same DNA molecule. We describe an algorithm to rewrite a given DNA expression into a DNA expression of minimal length denoting the same molecule.
متن کاملA Minimal Normal Form for DNA Expressions
DNA expressions constitute a formal notation for DNAmolecules that may contain nicks and gaps. Different DNA expressions may denote the same DNA molecule. We define a (minimal) normal form for the language of DNA expressions, and describe an algorithm to rewrite a given DNA expression into the normal form.
متن کاملNumber of Minimal Path Sets in a Consecutive-k-out-of-n: F System
In this paper the combinatorial problem of determining the number of minimal path sets of a consecutive-k-out-of-n: F system is considered. For the cases where k = 2, 3 the explicit formulae are given and for k ≥ 4 a recursive relation is obtained. Direct computation for determining the number of minimal path sets of a consecutive-k-out-of-n: F system for k ≥ 4 remains a difficult task. ...
