An Algorithm for RNA Pseudoknots

We further develop the large $ N $ formalism presented by some of us in earlier works in order to recursively calculate the partition function of a singly pseudoknotted RNA. We demonstrate that this calculation takes time proportional to the sixth power of the length of the RNA. The algorithm itself is presented in a self-contained form for the convenience of readers interested in implementing it.

A steepest descent calculation of RNA pseudoknots

We enumerate possible topologies of pseudoknots in single-stranded RNA molecules. We use a steepest-descent approximation in the large N matrix field theory, and a Feynman diagram formalism to describe the resulting pseudoknot structure.
