The Meaning of "Neighbour"
نویسنده
چکیده
Traditional vector and raster spatial models as used in many computer systems are examined to determine what is meant by the term “neighbour”. The limitations are examined and the Voronoi spatial model is proposed as a consistent alternative to both. It is then asked whether this new computer model of space bears any resemblance to human spatial reasoning and perception processes. Examination of the work of Blum, Ahuja, Tuceryan, Serra and others suggests that the Voronoi model may indeed relate to visual perception and the concept of “neighbour”.

Comparison of Non-Deterministic Iterative Methods
Comparing two (or more) heuristic methods based on metaheuristic principles is a difficult task that is not solved yet in a satisfactory way. Indeed these methods are iterative, meaning that the longer they run, the better the solution they produce are. They are also almost all non-deterministic, since they use a pseudo-random number generator. This means that when running twice the same heuris...

متن کاملThe Neighbourhood Polynomial of some Nanostructures
The neighbourhood polynomial G , is generating function for the number of faces of each cardinality in the neighbourhood complex of a graph. In other word $N(G,x)=sum_{Uin N(G)} x^{|U|}$, where N(G) is neighbourhood complex of a graph, whose vertices are the vertices of the graph and faces are subsets of vertices that have a common neighbour. In this paper we compute this polynomial for some na...
