A circular code has been identified in the protein (coding) genes of both eukaryotes and prokaryotes by using a statistical method called trinucleotide frequency (TF) method [Arquès & Michel (1996). J. theor. Biol. 182, 45-58]. Recently, a probabilistic model based on the nucleotide frequencies with a hypothesis of absence of correlation between successive bases on a DNA strand, has been propos...

Although the theory of Conceptual Structures is over 10 years old, basic notions (like canonical graphs) are far from settled and are subject to constant extensions and reformulations. However, most of these are done in an informal way, which doesn’t help in clarifying the issues involved. It is our hope that this paper will provide a first step towards the complete and rigorous account of Conc...

This chapter presents the fundamental concepts of tabu search (TS) in a tutorial fashion. Special emphasis is put on showing the relationships with classical local search methods and on the basic elements of any TS heuristic, namely the definition of the search space, the neighborhood structure, and the search memory. Other sections cover other important concepts such as search intensification ...

To treat probability rigorously, we define a sample space S whose elements are the possible outcomes of some process or experiment. For example, the sample space might be the outcomes of the roll of a die, or flips of a coin. To each element x of the sample space, we assign a probability, which will be a non-negative number between 0 and 1, which we will denote by p(x). We require that p(x) = ...

In [11] Michel Talagrand gave a rigorous proof of the Parisi formula in the SherringtonKirkpatrick model. In this paper we build upon the methodology developed in [11] and extend Talagrand’s result to a more general class of mean field models with spins distributed according to an arbitrary probability measure on the bounded subset of the real line and with external field term given by an arbit...

In his recent paper [6] Michel Talagrand gave a rigorous proof of the Parisi formula for the free energy of the Sherrington-Kirkpatrick model. In the present paper we utilize the methodology developed in [6] to compute the thermodynamic limit of the free energy of the set of configurations with the fixed average of spins N−1 ∑ i≤N σi = uN as uN → u ∈ [−1, 1].
