Fractals and P Systems
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper we show that the massive parallelism, the synchronous application of the rules, and the discrete nature of their computation, among other features, lead us to consider P systems as natural tools for dealing with fractals. Several examples of fractals encoded by P systems are presented and we wonder about using P systems as a new tool for representing and simulating the fractal nature of tumors.

Fractals as Fixed Points of Iterated Function Systems
This paper discusses one method of producing fractals, namely that of iterated function systems. We first establish the tools of Hausdorff measure and Hausdorff dimension to analyze fractals, as well as some concepts in the theory of metric spaces. The latter allows us to prove the existence and uniqueness of fractals as fixed points of iterated function systems. We discuss the connection betwe...
متن کاملUsing Blinking Fractals for Mathematical Modeling of Processes of Growth in Biological Systems
Many biological processes and objects can be described by fractals. The paper uses a new type of objects – blinking fractals – that are not covered by traditional theories considering dynamics of self-similarity processes. It is shown that both traditional and blinking fractals can be successfully studied by a recent approach allowing one to work numerically with infinite and infinitesimal numb...
متن کاملSelf-similar fractals and arithmetic dynamics
The concept of self-similarity on subsets of algebraic varieties is defined by considering algebraic endomorphisms of the variety as `similarity' maps. Self-similar fractals are subsets of algebraic varieties which can be written as a finite and disjoint union of `similar' copies. Fractals provide a framework in which, one can unite some results and conjectures in Diophantine g...
متن کاملFrom Newton Fractals to Zhang Fractals Yielded via Solving nonlinear equations in Complex Domain
A novel type of fractals (i.e., Zhang fractals) is yielded via solving time-varying or static nonlinear equations in complex domain by discrete-time complex-valued Zhang dynamics (DTCVZD). The DTCVZD model that uses different types of activation functions can generate various Zhang fractals. These fractals are different from the conventional Newton fractals discovered 30 years ago (since 1983) ...
متن کاملSelf-Assembly of 4-Sided Fractals in the Two-Handed Tile Assembly Model
In this paper, we consider the strict self-assembly of fractals in one of the most well-studied models of tile based self-assembling systems known as the Two-handed Tile Assembly Model (2HAM). We are particularly interested in a class of fractals called discrete self-similar fractals (a class of fractals that includes the discrete Sierpinski’s carpet). We present a 2HAM system that strictly sel...
