Solving 2D-pattern matching with networks of picture processors
We propose a solution based on networks of picture processors to the problem of picture pattern matching. The network solving the problem can be informally described as follows: it consists of two subnetworks, one of them extracts simultaneously all subpictures of the same size from the input picture and sends them to the second subnetwork. The second subnetwork checks whether any of the received pictures is identical to the pattern. We present an efficient solution based on networks with evolutionary processors only, for patterns with at most three rows or columns. Afterwards, we present a solution based on networks containing both evolutionary and hiding processors running in O(n+m+kl+k) computational (processing and communication) steps, where the input picture and the pattern are of size (n,m) and (k,l), respectively
L-systems in Geometric Modeling
We show that parametric context-sensitive L-systems with affine geometry
interpretation provide a succinct description of some of the most fundamental
algorithms of geometric modeling of curves. Examples include the
Lane-Riesenfeld algorithm for generating B-splines, the de Casteljau algorithm
for generating Bezier curves, and their extensions to rational curves. Our
results generalize the previously reported geometric-modeling applications of
L-systems, which were limited to subdivision curves.Comment: In Proceedings DCFS 2010, arXiv:1008.127
Forward Analysis and Model Checking for Trace Bounded WSTS
We investigate a subclass of well-structured transition systems (WSTS), the
bounded---in the sense of Ginsburg and Spanier (Trans. AMS 1964)---complete
deterministic ones, which we claim provide an adequate basis for the study of
forward analyses as developed by Finkel and Goubault-Larrecq (Logic. Meth.
Comput. Sci. 2012). Indeed, we prove that, unlike other conditions considered
previously for the termination of forward analysis, boundedness is decidable.
Boundedness turns out to be a valuable restriction for WSTS verification, as we
show that it further allows to decide all -regular properties on the
set of infinite traces of the system
A Picture Array Generating Model Based on Flat Splicing Operation
The bio-inspired operations of linear and circular splicing respectively on linear and circular strings of symbols have been extensively investigated by many researchers for their theoretical properties. Recently, another kind of splicing of two words, referred to as flat splicing on strings, has been considered. We here extend this operation to flat splicing on picture arrays, thus defining a new model of picture generation, which we call as array flat splicing system (AF S) and obtain
some results on the generative power of AF S in comparison with certain well-known picture array defining model
