We present a lossless compression algorithm, GenCompress, for genetic sequences, based on searching for approximate repeats. Our algorithm achieves the best compression ratios for...
As more research centers embark on sequencing new genomes, the problem of DNA fragment assembly for shotgun sequencing is growing in importance and complexity. Accurate and fast a...
We investigate the problem of estimating the proportion vector which maximizes the likelihood of a given sample for a mixture of given densities. We adapt a framework developed for...

Selection methods in Evolutionary Algorithms, including Genetic Algorithms, Evolution Strategies ES and Evolutionary Programming, EP are compared by observing the rate of converge...
Our paper concerns optimal combinations of different types of reinsurance contracts. We introduce a novel approach based on the Mean-Variance-Criterion to solve this task. Two sta...
