Background: Identifying approximately repeated patterns, or motifs, in DNA sequences from a set of co-regulated genes is an important step towards deciphering the complex gene reg...
The oscillator problem consists of determining good initial values for the node voltages and the frequency of oscillation and the avoidance of the DC solution. Standard approaches...
In a distributed system, a number of application tasks may need to be assigned to different processors such that the system cost is minimized and the constraints with limited reso...
Abstract. We present upper bounds on the time and space complexity of finding the global optimum of additively separable functions, a class of functions that has been studied exten...
Recent work on geometric vision problems has exploited convexity properties in order to obtain globally optimal solutions. In this paper we give an overview of these developments a...
