Iso-array rewriting P systems with context-free iso-array rules

A new computing model called P system is a highly distributed and parallel theoretical model, which is proposed in the area of membrane computing. Ceterchi et al. initially proposed array rewriting P systems by extending the notion of string rewriting P systems to arrays (2003). A theoretical model for picture generation using context-free iso-array grammar rules and puzzle iso-array grammar rules are introduced by Kalyani et al. (2004, 2006). Also iso-array rewriting P systems for iso-picture languages have been studied by Annadurai et al. (2008). In this paper we consider the context-free iso-array rules and context-free puzzle iso-array rules in iso-array rewriting P systems and examine the generative powers of these P systems

Shuffle on array languages generated by array grammars

Motivated by the studies done by G. Siromoney et al. (1973) and Alexan- dru Mateescu et al. (1998) we examine the language theoretic results related to shuf- fle on trajectories by making use of Siromoney array grammars such as (R : R)AG, (R : C F )AG, (C F : R)AG, (C F : C F )AG, (C S : R)AG, (C S : C S)AG and (C F : C S)AG which are more powerful than the Siromoney matrix grammars (1972) and are used to make digital pictures

The influence of magnesium and oxalic acid upon the absorption and retention of calcium and phosphorus

The present work was undertaken to study the effect of excess of magnesium and oxalic acid on calcium-phosphorus utilization, retention and excretion when added to a normal balanced ration fed to lambs

Adjunct hexagonal array token Petri nets and hexagonal picture languages

Adjunct Hexagonal Array Token Petri Net Structures (AHPN) are re- cently introduced hexagonal picture generating devices which extended the Hexag- onal Array Token Petri Net Structures . In this paper we consider AHPN model along with a control feature called inhibitor arcs and compare it with some ex- pressive hexagonal picture generating and recognizing models with respect to the generating power

Wilks’ Factorization of the Complex Matrix Variate Dirichlet Distributions

In this paper, it has been shown that the complex matrix variate Dirichlet type I density factors into the complex matrix variate beta type I densities. Similar result has also been derived for the complex matrix variate Dirichlet type II density. Also, by using certain matrix transformations, the complex matrix variate Dirichlet distributions have been generated from the complex matrix beta distributions. Further, several results on the product of complex Wishart and complex beta matrices with a set of complex Dirichlet type I matrices have been derived.In this paper, it has been shown that the complex matrix variate Dirichlet type I density factors into the complex matrix variate beta type I densities.
