Background: The prediction of the structure of large RNAs remains a particular challenge in bioinformatics, due to the computational complexity and low levels of accuracy of state...
We present an interior-point penalty method for nonlinear programming (NLP), where the merit function consists of a piecewise linear penalty function (PLPF) and an 2-penalty functi...
Multimedia similarity search has been playing a critical role in many novel applications. Typically, multimedia objects are described by high-dimensional feature vectors (or point...
