Deterministic approaches, including quasispecies theory (15, 26), assume that the population size is very large, such that the frequency of a given mutation at any given time is completely predictable ...

Ecological succession and the balance between stochastic and deterministic processes are two major themes within microbial ecology, but these conceptual domains have mostly developed independent of ...

Demographic stochasticity—the population-level randomness that emerges when the timing of birth, death, and interaction events is unpredictable—can profoundly alter the dynamics of a system. We find ...

This package provides a simple and effective ways to implement deterministic selection in distributed systems. The focus is on random seeds to provide fair selection and good distribution. The ...

Stochastic processes can play an important role in microbial community assembly. Dispersal limitation is one process that can increase stochasticity and obscure relationships between environmental ...

Abstract: Recursive projection aggregation (RPA) decoding is a novel decoding algorithm that performs close to the maximum likelihood decoder for short-length Reed-Muller codes. Recently, an extension ...

Let $${GP}$$ be a set of indirected arcs. Number the two edges of each arcs with natural numbers. If one edge is numbered $${i}$$, let the other edge be numbered $${i + 1}$$ or $${i - 1}$$ ($${1 \leqq ...
