Biomorphs via modified iterations
نویسندگان
چکیده
The aim of this paper is to present some modifications of the biomorphs generation algorithm introduced by Pickover in 1986. A biomorph stands for biological morphologies. It is obtained by a modified Julia set generation algorithm. The biomorph algorithm can be used in the creation of diverse and complicated forms resembling invertebrate organisms. In this paper the modifications of the biomorph algorithm in two directions are proposed. The first one uses different types of iterations (Picard, Mann, Ishikawa). The second one uses a sequence of parameters instead of one fixed parameter used in the original biomorph algorithm. Biomorphs generated by the modified algorithm are essentially different in comparison to those obtained by the standard biomorph algorithm, i.e., the algorithm with Picard iteration and one fixed constant. c ©2016 All rights reserved.

Hydraulic Analysis of Water Supply Networks using a Modified Hardy Cross Method
There are different methods for the hydraulic analysis of water supply networks. In the solution process of most of these methods, a large system of linear equations is solved in each iteration. This usually requires a high computational effort. Hardy Cross method is one of the approaches that do not need such a process and may converge to the solution through scalar divisions. However, this me...
متن کاملAn Empirical Exploration of a Definition of Creative Novelty for Generative Art
We explore a new definition of creativity — one which emphasizes the statistical capacity of a system to generate previously unseen patterns — and discuss motivations for this perspective in the context of machine learning. We show the definition to be computationally tractable, and apply it to the domain of generative art, utilizing a collection of features drawn from image processing. We next...
متن کاملDesigning Biomorphs with an Interactive Genetic Algorithm
We describe an interactive version of the Genetic Algorithm which can be used to evolve Fourier series based \biomorphs." The user plays the role of a binary-valued objective function. The usual Genetic operators of Selection, Mutation, and Crossover are applied normally. We discuss the Interactive Genetic Algorithm's use as a teaching tool and in domains in which measures of utility are di cul...
