In this paper, we investigate the properties of some recently pro-posed fuzzy distance measures. We find out some shortcomings for these dis-tances and then the obtained results are illustrated by solving several examplesand compared with the other fuzzy distances.

In this paper we address the question of defining and computing Hausdorff distances between distributions in a general sense. We exhibit some links between Prokhorov-Lévy distances and dilation-based distances. In particular, mathematical morphology provides an elegant way to deal with periodic distributions. The case of possibility distributions is addressed using fuzzy mathematical morphology...

Phylogenies of species or genes are commonplace nowadays in many areas of comparative biological studies. However, for phylogenetic reconstructions one must refer to artificial signals such as paralogy, long-branch attraction, saturation, or conflict between different datasets. These signals might eventually mislead the reconstruction even in phylogenomic studies employing hundreds of genes. Un...
