Using Positive Spanning Sets to Achieve d-Stationarity with the Boosted DC Algorithm. [PDF]

open access: yesVietnam J Math, 2020
AbstractThe Difference of Convex functions Algorithm (DCA) is widely used for minimizing the difference of two convex functions. A recently proposed accelerated version, termed BDCA for Boosted DC Algorithm, incorporates a line search step to achieve a larger decrease of the objective value at each iteration. Thanks to this step, BDCA usually converges

A deterministic algorithm to compute the cosine measure of a finite positive spanning set [PDF]

open access: yesOptimization Letters, 2020
Originally developed in 1954, positive bases and positive spanning sets have been found to be a valuable concept in derivative-free optimization (DFO). The quality of a positive basis (or positive spanning set) can be quantified via the {\em cosine measure} and convergence properties of certain DFO algorithms are intimately linked to the value of this ...

Gale diagrams of convex polytopes and positive spanning sets of vectors

open access: yesDiscrete Applied Mathematics, 1984
A positive k-spanning set (PkSS) in Euclidean m-space \({\mathbb{R}}^ m\) is a set of points such that each open half-space of \({\mathbb{R}}^ m\) bounded by a hyperplane through the origin contains at least k points of the set. In this paper, the author investigates the maximal cardinality of a minimal (with respect to inclusion) PkSS of \({\mathbb{R}}

Measure of Knowledge in Students at Uniandes, Ecuador, on the Manifestations of Oral Cancer [PDF]

open access: yesNeutrosophic Sets and Systems, 2020
Oral cancer is a disease that deserves as much attention as possible from specialists. It is vitally important that specialists know the manifestations of this disease and they must be able to early detect it.

Algorithmic improvements for discovery of germline copy number variants in next-generation sequencing data

open access: yesBMC Bioinformatics, 2022
Background Copy number variants (CNVs) play a significant role in human heredity and disease. However, sensitive and specific characterization of germline CNVs from NGS data has remained challenging, particularly for hybridization-capture data in which ...

Discovery of positive and purifying selection in metagenomic time series of hypermutator microbial populations.

open access: yesPLoS Genetics, 2022
A general method to infer both positive and purifying selection during the real-time evolution of hypermutator pathogens would be broadly useful. To this end, we introduce a Simple Test to Infer Mode of Selection (STIMS) from metagenomic time series of ...
