چکیده

We examine finite words over an alphabet Γ = {a, ā; b, b̄} of pairs of letters, where each word w1w2...wt is identified with its reverse complement w̄t...w̄2w̄1 (where ā = a, b̄ = b). We seek the smallest k such that every word of length n, composed from Γ, is uniquely ∗This work was supported, in part, by Hungarian NSF, under contract Nos.

Reconstruction from subwords ∗

In the paper two variants of a combinatorial problem for the set F n q of sequences of length n over the alphabet Fq = {0, 1, .., q − 1} are considered, with some applications. The original problem was the following: for a given word w ∈ F n q , what is the smallest integer k such that we can reconstruct w if we know all of its subwords of length k. This problem was solved by Lothaire [8] . We ...

DNA-words and word posets

In the paper two variants of a combinatorial problem for the set F q of sequences of length n over the alphabet Fq = {0, 1, .., q − 1} are considered, with some applications. The original problem was the following: what is the smallest k such that every word v ∈ F q is uniquely determined by the set of its subwords of length up to k. This problem was solved by Lothaire [1]. We consider the foll...

A linear algorithm for string reconstruction in the reverse complement equivalence model

In the reverse complement equivalence model, it is not possible to distinguish a string from its reverse complement. We show that one can still reconstruct a string of length n, up to reverse complement, using a linear number of subsequence queries of bounded length. We first give the proof for strings over a binary alphabet, and then extend it to arbitrary finite alphabets. A simple informatio...

On Quasi Orders of Words and the Confluence Property

We investigate the con uence property, that is, the property of a language to contain, for any two words of it, one which is bigger, with respect to a given quasi order on the respective free monoid, than each of the former two. This property is investigated mainly for regular and context-free languages. As a consequence of our study, we give an answer to an old open problem raised by Haines co...
