A new stochastic method for locating the global minimum of a multidimensional function inside a rectangular hyperbox is presented. A sampling technique is employed that makes use ...
Background: The inference of homology from statistically significant sequence similarity is a central issue in sequence alignments. So far the statistical distribution function un...

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...
The focus is on black-box optimization of a function f : RN R given as a black box, i. e. an oracle for f-evaluations. This is commonly called direct search, and in fact, most meth...
