Phyllotaxis, pushed pattern-forming fronts, and optimal packing.
We demonstrate that the pattern forming partial differential equation derived from the auxin distribution model proposed by Meyerowitz, Traas, and others gives rise to all spiral phyllotaxis properties observed on plants. We show how the advancing pushed pattern front chooses spiral families enumerated by Fibonacci sequences with all attendant self-similar properties, a new amplitude invariant ...
متن کاملOptimal Reorganization of Agent Formations
In this article we address the problem of determining how a structured formation of autonomous undistinguishable agents can be reorganized into another, eventually non-rigid, formation based on changes in the environment, perhaps unforeseeable. The methodology can also be used to correctly position the agents into a particular formation from an initial set of random locations. Given the informa...
متن کاملOptimal and Cooperative Control of Vehicle Formations
Control of vehicle formations has emerged as a topic of significant interest to the controls community. In applications such as microsatellites and underwater vehicles, formations have the potential for greater functionality and versatility than individual vehicles. In this thesis, we investigate two topics relevant to control of vehicle formations: optimal vehicle control and cooperative contr...
متن کاملMosaic Pattern Formations in Multicellular Chemical Systems
A 2-dimensional array of coupled Brusselators cells is studied numerically. A variety of stationary patterns are obtained depending on the coupling strength of an activator and an inhibitor. Mosaic patterns of different motifs, in a very complicated spatial arrangement, are discovered. The mechanism that leads to the formation of the mosaic patterns consists of the formation of rings by an osci...
متن کاملOptimal rectangle packing
We consider the NP-complete problem of finding an enclosing rectangle of minimum area that will contain a given a set of rectangles. We present two different constraintsatisfaction formulations of this problem. The first searches a space of absolute placements of rectangles in the enclosing rectangle, while the other searches a space of relative placements between pairs of rectangles. Both appr...
