چکیده

In this paper we study the sequence length requirements of distance-based evolutionary tree building algorithms in the Jukes-Cantor model of evolution. By deriving lower bounds on sequence lengths required to recover the evolutionary tree topology correctly , we show that two algorithms, the Short Quartet Method and the Harmonic Greedy Triplets algorithms have optimal sequence length requirements.

Some inequalities involving lower bounds of operators on weighted sequence spaces by a matrix norm

Let A = (an;k)n;k1 and B = (bn;k)n;k1 be two non-negative ma-trices. Denote by Lv;p;q;B(A), the supremum of those L, satisfying the followinginequality:k Ax kv;B(q) L k x kv;B(p);where x 0 and x 2 lp(v;B) and also v = (vn)1n=1 is an increasing, non-negativesequence of real numbers. In this paper, we obtain a Hardy-type formula forLv;p;q;B(H), where H is the Hausdor matrix and 0 < q p 1. Also...

Lower Bounds for Synchronizing Word Lengths in Partial Automata

It was conjectured by \v{C}ern\'y in 1964, that a synchronizing DFA on $n$ states always has a synchronizing word of length at most $(n-1)^2$, and he gave a sequence of DFAs for which this bound is reached. Until now a full analysis of all DFAs reaching this bound was only given for $n \leq 4$, and with bounds on the number of symbols for $n \leq 10$. Here we give the full analysis for $n \leq ...

On Moments of the Concomitants of Classic Record Values and Nonparametric Upper Bounds for the Mean under the Farlie-Gumbel-Morgenstern Model

In a sequence of random variables, record values are observations that exceed or fall below the current extreme value.Now consider a sequence of pairwise random variables &nbsp;{(Xi,Yi), i>=1}, when the experimenter is interested in studying just thesequence of records of the first component, the second component associated with a record value of the first one is termed the concomitant of that ...
