Background: Protein-protein interactions are fundamental for the majority of cellular processes and their study is of enormous biotechnological and therapeutic interest. In recent...
Abstract Abstract. Recent work in the analysis of randomized approximation algorithms for NP-hard optimization problems has involved approximating the solution to a problem by the ...
We consider the following one- and two-dimensional bucketing problems: Given a set S of n points in R1 or R2 and a positive integer b, distribute the points of S into b equal-size ...

Abstract. In this paper we present a novel analysis of a random sampling approach for three clustering problems in metric spaces: k-median, min-sum kclustering, and balanced k-medi...
We benchmark the pure random search algorithm on the BBOB 2009 noise-free testbed. Each candidate solution is sampled uniformly in [−5, 5]D , where D denotes the search space di...
