A Direct Search Algorithm for Global Optimization

open access: yesAlgorithms, 2016
A direct search algorithm is proposed for minimizing an arbitrary real valued function. The algorithm uses a new function transformation and three simplex-based operations.

Epigenetic blind spots – the role of DNA methylation dynamics in stem cell‐based models of embryogenesis

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Embryo‐like structures (stembryos) are an innovative tool, but they are hindered by experimental variability and limited developmental potential. DNA methylation is crucial for mammalian development, but its status in stembryo models is poorly characterized.

FRACTOP: A Geometric Partitioning Metaheuristic for Global Optimization [PDF]

open access: yes, 1999
We propose a new metaheuristic, FRACTOP, for global optimization. FRACTOP is based on the geometric partitioning of the feasible region so that search metaheuristics such as Simulated Annealing (SA), or Genetic Algorithms (GA) which are activated in ...

Global optimization of bounded factorable functions with discontinuities [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
A deterministic global optimization method is developed for a class of discontinuous functions. McCormick’s method to obtain relaxations of nonconvex functions is extended to discontinuous factorable functions by representing a discontinuity with a step ...

Numerical analysis of quantization-based optimization

open access: yesETRI Journal
We propose a number-theory-based quantized mathematical optimization scheme for various NP-hard and similar problems. Conventional global optimization schemes, such as simulated and quantum annealing, assume stochastic properties that require multiple ...

An unexpected alternative viologen electron mediator site in tungsten‐containing formate dehydrogenase

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
An unexpected alternative interaction site for ethyl viologen was identified in formate dehydrogenase 1 from Methylorubrum extorquens. Combined mutagenesis, kinetic analysis, and docking revealed that aromatic residues near an iron–sulfur cluster enable flavin mononucleotide‐independent electron transfer, offering a framework for engineering improved ...

Recent advances in surrogate-based optimization [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
The evaluation of aerospace designs is synonymous with the use of long running computationally intensive simulations. This fuels the desire to harness the efficiency of surrogate-based methods in aerospace design optimization.

Open Competency Optimization with Combinatorial Operators for the Dynamic Green Traveling Salesman Problem

open access: yesInformation
This paper proposes the Open Competency Optimization (OCO) approach, based on adaptive combinatorial operators, to solve the Dynamic Green Traveling Salesman Problem (DG-TSP), which extends the classical TSP by incorporating dynamic travel conditions ...

Modelling stem cell differentiation related processes—A practical overview for biologists

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Stem cell differentiation is complex and difficult to control experimentally. This review introduces suitable computational modelling approaches that can support stem cell research, from mechanistic ODE and abstract models to multiscale and deep learning methods.
