✦ Synopsis
We study decision problems of the following form: Given an instance of a combinatorial problem, can it be solved by a greedy algorithm? We present algorithms for the recognition of greedy instances of certain problems, structural characterization of such instances for other problems, and proofs of NP-hardness of the recognition problem for some other cases. Previous results of this type are also stated and reviewed.

## Abstract This article concerns the development of an improved greedy algorithm for protein structure reconstruction. Our stochastic greedy algorithm, which attempts to locate the ground state of an approximate energy function, exploits the fact that protein structures consist of overlapping stru
I f an organization is deeply seated in a quagmire of structural complexity, the situation, at best, limits performance, and, at worst, can lead to a business's demise. Most often, when people speak of complexity, they do so only within the context of operations. How complex are daily shop floor man
Behaviour of the eigenvalues of random matrices with an underlying linear structure is investigated, when the structure is exposed to random noise. The question, how a deterministic skeleton behind a random matrix can be recognized, is also discussed. Such random matrices, as weight matrices of rand
