Abstract: Probabilistically constrained problems, in which the random variables are finitely distributed, are nonconvex in general and hard to solve. The p-efficiency concept has b...
Background: The multitude of motif detection algorithms developed to date have largely focused on the detection of patterns in primary sequence. Since sequence-dependent DNA struc...
Background: The SH3 domain family is one of the most representative and widely studied cases of so-called Peptide Recognition Modules (PRM). The polyproline II motif PxxP that gen...
In this paper we analyze the relationship between cyclic definitions and consistency in GelfondLifschitz's answer sets semantics (initially defined as `stable model semantics...
A tree function (TF) t on a ÿnite set X is a real function on the set of the pairs of elements of X satisfying the four-point condition: for all distinct x; y; z; w ∈ X; t(xy)+...
