• Modeling genetic algorithms with interacting particle systems 

      Del Moral, P.; Kallel, L.; Rowe, J. (2009-02-19)
      We present in this work a natural Interacting Particle System (IPS) approach formodeling and studying the asymptotic behavior of Genetic Algorithms (GAs). In thismodel, a population is seen as a distribution (or measure) ...
    • Some properties and inequalities related to the kth inverse moment of a positive binomial variate 

      Arias López, Rodrigo; Garrido, José (2009-02-19)
       We present some known properties of bk(n, p) the kth inverse moment of a positive binomial variate. Additional properties of this function and new bounds are derived. Keywords:  Probability, statistics, life contingencies, ...
    • Teoría de nudos geométricos e isotopía poligonal 

      Calvo Soto, Jorge Alberto (2009-02-19)
      The space of n-sided polygons embedded in euclidean three-space consists of a smoothmanifold in which points correspond to piecewise linear or “geometric” knots, while pathscorrespond to isotopies which preserve the geometric ...
