 * This generic algorithm can be degenerated into three child ones, depending on the arguments given; in particular depending

 * 1/ If  minimumPatchLength = maximumPatchLength = maximumPatchVolume = 0, then we have the Berger-Rigoutsos algorithm.

 * This algorithm was developed in 2004 and is an improvement of the Berger-Rigoutsos algorithm.
 * 3/ If maximumPatchVolume = 0, the we have the lmin-lmax algorithm.
 * This algorithm was developed by Arthur TALPAERT in 2014 and is an improvement of the Livne algorithm. It is especially
