Zonotopes are centrally symmetric polytopes with a very special structure: they are the Minkowski sum of line segments. In this paper we propose to use zonotopes as bounding volum...
In structural molecular biology software, the accessibility of an atom in a molecule to a ball representing solvent is either computed slowly by building a solventaccessible surfa...
Background: Protein structure comparison is a key problem in bioinformatics. There exist several methods for doing protein comparison, being the solution of the Maximum Contact Ma...
We show how to construct a variety of “trapdoor” cryptographic tools assuming the worst-case hardness of standard lattice problems (such as approximating the length of the sho...
Abstract--This paper offers a new technique for spatially adaptive estimation. The local likelihood is exploited for nonparametric modeling of observations and estimated signals. T...
