Sequences and the de Bruijn Graph: Properties, Constructions, and Applications explores the foundations of theoretical mathematical concepts and their important applications to computer science, electrical engineering, and bioinformatics. The book introduces the various concepts, ideas, and techniques associated with the use of the de Bruijn Graph, providing comprehensive coverage of sequence classification, one-dimensional and two-dimensional properties, constructions, and interconnection networks. This book is suitable for researchers, graduate students, professors, and professionals working in the fields of applied mathematics, electrical engineering, computer science, and bioinformatics.The de Bruijn graph was defined in 1946 to enumerate the number of closed sequences where each n-tuple appears exactly once as a window in a sequence. Through the years, the graph and its sequences have found numerous applications – in space technology, wireless communication, cryptography, parallel computation, genome assembly, DNA storage, and microbiome research, among others.

Advances in Domain Adaptation Theory gives current, state-of-the-art results on transfer learning, with a particular focus placed on domain adaptation from a theoretical point-of-view. The book begins with a brief overview of the most popular concepts used to provide generalization guarantees, including sections on Vapnik-Chervonenkis (VC), Rademacher, PAC-Bayesian, Robustness and Stability based bounds. In addition, the book explains domain adaptation problem and describes the four major families of theoretical results that exist in the literature, including the Divergence based bounds. Next, PAC-Bayesian bounds are discussed, including the original PAC-Bayesian bounds for domain adaptation and their updated version. Additional sections present generalization guarantees based on the robustness and stability properties of the learning algorithm.
