The amazing dynamics of stochastic pattern formation and growth models inspired by the Conway's Game of Life
نویسنده
چکیده
Several modifications of the famous mathematical “Game of Life” are introduced by making “Game of Life” rules stochastic and mutual influence of cells in their 8-neighborhood on a rectangular lattice spatially non-uniform. Results are reported of experimental investigation of evolutionary dynamics of the introduced models. A number of new phenomena in the evolutionary dynamics of the models and collective behavior of patterns they generate are revealed, described and illustrated: formation of maze-like patterns as fixed points of the models, “self-controlled” growth, “eternal life in a bounded space” and “coherent shrinkage”.

Evolutionary pattern formation in non-linear imaging systems with feedback: “Self-controlled growth”, “Coherent shrinkage” and “Eternal life in a bounded space”
Imaging systems with feedback are, generally, non-linear dynamic systems, which exhibit evolutionary pattern formation. In the paper, results of experimental investigation of pattern formation in several discrete models of such systems inspired by the famous mathematical “Game of Life” are presented and a number of new amazing phenomena in the evolutionary pattern formation in the models are re...
متن کاملThe amazing evolutionary dynamics of non-linear optical systems with feedback
Optical systems with feedback are, generally, non-linear dynamic systems. As such, they exhibit evolutionary behavior. In the paper we present results of experimental investigation of evolutionary dynamics of several models of such systems. The models are modifications of the famous mathematical “Game of Life”. The modifications are two-fold: “Game of Life” rules are made stochastic and mutual ...
متن کاملGAME OF COORDINATION FOR BACTERIAL PATTERN FORMATION: A FINITE AUTOMATA MODELLING
In this paper, we use game theory to describe the emergence of self-organization and consequent pattern formation through communicative cooperation in Bacillus subtilis colonies. The emergence of cooperative regime is modelled as an n-player Assurance game, with the bacterial colonies as individual players. The game is played iteratively through cooperative communication, and mediated by exchan...
متن کاملApplication of Stochastic Optimal Control, Game Theory and Information Fusion for Cyber Defense Modelling
The present paper addresses an effective cyber defense model by applying information fusion based game theoretical approaches. In the present paper, we are trying to improve previous models by applying stochastic optimal control and robust optimization techniques. Jump processes are applied to model different and complex situations in cyber games. Applying jump processes we propose some m...
متن کاملStochastic cooperative advertising in a manufacturer–retailer decentralized supply channel
This work considers cooperative advertising in a manufacturer–retailer supply chain. While the manufacturer is the Stackelberg leader, the retailer is the follower. Using Sethi model it models the dynamic effect of the manufacturer and retailer’s advertising efforts on sale. It uses optimal control technique and stochastic differential game theory to obtain the players’ advertising strategies a...
