Evolution of Sets Systems and Homotopy Groups of Spheres

Симеон Т. Стефанов, Велика И. Драгиева - В работата е изследвана еволюцията на системи от множества върху n-мерната евклидова сфера S^n. Установена е връзката на такива системи с хомотопичните групи на сферите. Получени са някои комбинаторни приложения за многостени.

Analysis of P-Systems under a Multiagent Systems Perspective

Membrane computing is a recent area that belongs to natural computing. This field works on computational models based on nature's behavior to process the information. Recently, numerous models have been developed and implemented with this purpose. P-systems are the structures which have been defined, developed and implemented to simulate the behavior and the evolution of membrane systems which we find in nature. What we show in this paper is an application capable to simulate the P-systems based on a multiagent systems (MAS) technology. The main goal we want to achieve is to take advantage of the inner qualities of the multiagent systems. This way we can analyse the proper functioning of any given p-system. When we observe a P-system from a different perspective, we can be assured that it is a particular case of the multiagent systems. This opens a new possibility, in the future, to always evaluate the P-systems in terms of the multiagent systems technology.
