Computational Dynamics of Natural Information Morphology, Discretely Continuous
نویسنده
چکیده
This paper presents a theoretical study of the binary oppositions underlying the mechanisms of natural computation understood as dynamical processes on natural information morphologies. Of special interest are the oppositions of discrete vs. continuous, structure vs. process, and differentiation vs. integration. The framework used is that of computing nature, where all natural processes at different levels of organisation are computations over informational structures. The interactions at different levels of granularity/organisation in nature, and the character of the phenomena that unfold through those interactions, are modeled from the perspective of an observing agent. This brings us to the movement from binary oppositions to dynamic networks built upon mutually related binary oppositions, where each node has several properties.

Analysis and Design of Discretely Controlled Switched Positive Systems
Discretely controlled switched positive systems are characterized by interacting continuous and discrete dynamics. Switching must take place not only to move the continuous state from the initial state to a goal state, but also to make the system remain in the surroundings of the goal state. The continuous dynamics are positive. This paper shows that if the continuous positive systems making up...
متن کاملEffect of Bubble/Droplet Morphology and Slippage on Attachment Induction Time in Deoiling Flotation Process
A modified model has been analytically developed to describe the induction time of an elliptic air bubble in contact with an elliptic hydrophobic oil droplet. The role of hydrophobicity was revealed in the slippage of liquid over the surfaces of bubble and droplet. In this condition, the analytical relationships for pressure distribution and consequently hydrodynamic resistance force through th...

According to flexibility of pneumatic conveying systems with respect to other types of transmission systems, this system has wide application in industry and agriculture processes. One important application of this system is in the loading and unloading tankers and powdery bulk materials such as trucks carrying cement, plaster and sand. Conveying efficiency is associated with pressure, which in...
متن کاملFisher ’ S Information for Discretely Sampled Lévy Processes
This paper studies the asymptotic behavior of the Fisher information for a Lévy process discretely sampled at an increasing frequency. We show that it is possible to distinguish not only the continuous part of the process from its jumps part, but also different types of jumps, and derive the rates of convergence of efficient estimators.
متن کاملAssessing forest gap dynamics using remotely sensed digital height models and GIS
Canopy gaps play an essential role in continuous cover forests, as they have a strong effect on regeneration dynamics and species composition. However, canopy gaps have been widely neglected in current monitoring and planning practices, which might be caused by the fact that mapping of canopy gaps from the ground is labour-intensive, tedious, and error prone. An approach to automated canopy gap...
