Community detection has attracted a great deal of attention in recent years. A parsimony criterion for detecting this structure means that as minimal as possible number of inserted and deleted edges is needed when we make the network considered become a disjoint union of cliques. However, many small groups of nodes are obtained by directly using this criterion to some networks especially for sp...

The method of evolutionary parsimony--or operator invariants--is a technique of nucleic acid sequence analysis related to parsimony analysis and explicitly designed for determining evolutionary relationships among four distantly related taxa. The method is independent of substitution rates because it is derived from consideration of the group properties of substitution operators rather than fro...

Parsimony pressure, the explicit penalization of larger programs, has been increasingly used as a means of controlling code growth in genetic programming. However, in many cases parsimony pressure degrades the performance of the genetic program. In this paper we show that poor average results with parsimony pressure are a result of 'failed' populations that overshadow the results of populations...

Most of the theories location on market appear to be ideologically parsimonious at least in sense that they take as primitive just one locative notion and define all other notions terms it. Recently, however, possibility some exotic metaphysical scenarios involving gunky mixtures extended simple regions space has been argued pose a significant threat locations. The aim this paper is show theory...
