A new approach for overcoming broken ergodicity in Markov Chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) simulations of complex systems is described. The problem of broken ergodicity is often present i...
Abstract. We prove a general theorem on semigroup functions that implies characterizations of graph partition functions in terms of the positive semidefiniteness (`reflection posit...
The main task in decision tree construction algorithms is to find the "best partition" of the set of objects. In this paper, we investigate the problem of optimal binary ...
This article proposes a flexible and distributed stochastic automaton-based network partitioning algorithm that is capable of finding the optimal k-way partition with respect to a...

A technique for harmonic analysis is presented that partitions a piece of music into contiguous regions and labels each with the key, mode, and functional chord, e.g. tonic, domin...
