Exploring the physics of sand drawings: The role of craters, furrows and piles.

TL;DR: This work carries out experimental studies on the formation of sand cavities, furrows and piles, which individually or interconnected, give rise to artistic patterns and finds that they conform into simple exponential and power laws that collapse when a scaling is performed.

Pictures, layers, double stranded molecules: on multi-dimenional sentences

TL;DR: Two examples of multi-dimensional sentences are discussed, to show problems deriving from a straightforward extension of one-dimensional notions, such as shuffle and the irreducibility of pictures to strings.
Book ChapterDOI

Satisfiability via Smooth Pictures

TL;DR: The main result states the satisfiability problem for s-smooth pictures can be solved in time polynomial on s and on the size of the input picture.
Journal ArticleDOI

Picture generation and developmental matrix systems

TL;DR: Two-dimensional L -systems are presented by substituting regular sets vertically into extended OL ( OL, tabled OL)(EOL (OL, TOL) systems and the automata which accept extended OL-regular matrix languages (EOL-RML) are constructed.

Formal Languages and Their Relation to Automata

TL;DR: The theory of formal languages as a coherent theory is presented and its relationship to automata theory is made explicit, including the Turing machine and certain advanced topics in language theory.

A formal picture description scheme as a basis for picture processing systems

TL;DR: A formal picture description scheme to be used as the basis for picture processing systems is presented and a series of examples illustrate the capability and limitations of the description scheme.
