Given two strings (a text t of length n and a pattern p) and a natural number w, window subsequence problems consist in deciding whether p occurs as a subsequence of t and/or findi...
This work is a study of neutrality in the context of Evolutionary Computation systems. In particular, we introduce the use of explicit neutrality with an integer string coding sche...
The Nelder-Mead Algorithm (NMA) is an almost half-century old method for numerical optimization, and it is a close relative of Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) and Differential Ev...
A string matching--and more generally, sequence matching--algorithm is presented that has a linear worst-case computing time bound, a low worst-case bound on the number of compari...
Multiple sequence alignment is a fundamental problem in computational biology. Because of its notorious difficulties, aligning sequences within a constant band (c-diagonal) is a ...
