Background: The number of k-words shared between two sequences is a simple and effcient alignment-free sequence comparison method. This statistic, D2, has been used for the cluste...
We develop a novel on-line built-in self-test (BIST) technique for testing FPGAs that has a very high diagnosability even in presence of clustered faults, a fault pattern for whic...
In this paper we consider a Poisson cluster process N as a generating process for the arrivals of packets to a server. This process generalizes in a more realistic way the infinite...
The quantum query complexity of searching for local optima has been a subject of much interest in the recent literature. For the d-dimensional grid graphs, the complexity has been...
The frequency with which various elements of the search space of a given evolutionary algorithm are sampled is affected by the family of recombination (reproduction) operators. Th...
