Background: The number of k-words shared between two sequences is a simple and effcient alignment-free sequence comparison method. This statistic, D2, has been used for the cluste...
Abstract. We present a new “lifting” approach for the solution of nonlinear optimization problems (NLPs) that have objective and constraint functions with intermediate variable...
The portfolio optimization problem is modeled as a mean-risk bicriteria optimization problem where the expected return is maximized and some (scalar) risk measure is minimized. In ...
Background: As the canonical code is not universal, different theories about its origin and organization have appeared. The optimization or level of adaptation of the canonical ge...
Recently, nonlinear shape models have been shown to improve the robustness and flexibility of segmentation. In this paper, we propose Shape Regularized Active Contour (ShRAC) that...
