A Classification of Periodic Turtle Sequences
نویسندگان
چکیده
A turtle sequence is a word constructed from an alphabet of two letters: F , which represents the forward motion of a turtle in the plane, and L, which represents a counterclockwise turn. In this paper, we investigate such sequences and establish links between the combinatoric properties of words and the geometric properties of the curves they generate. In particular, we classify periodic turtle sequences in terms of their closure (or lack thereof).

Euphrates turtle is the only soft shell turtle of Iran, and unfortunately is in danger of extinction due to multiple reasons. Imaging techniques, in addition to their importance in diagnosis of injuries to animals, have been used as non-invasive methods to provide normal anatomic views. A few studies have been conducted to understand body structure of the Euphrates turtle. Since there is only g...
متن کاملTurtle graphics of morphic streams
Streams are infinite sequences. The simplest streams that are not ultimately periodic are morphic streams: fixed points of particular morphisms mapping single symbols to strings of symbols. A most basic way to visualize a stream is by a turtle curve: for every alphabet symbol fix an angle, and then proceed the stream elements by drawing unit segments and turn the corresponding angle. This paper...
