✦ Synopsis

We present a method for approximating a fitness landscape as a superposition of "elementary" landscapes. Given a correlation function of the landscape in question we show that the relative amplitudes of contributions with p-ary interactions can be computed. We show an application to RNA free energy landscapes.
