A complete characterization of primitive recursive intensional behaviours

P. Valarcher (2008)

RAIRO - Theoretical Informatics and Applications

We give a complete characterization of the class of functions that are the intensional behaviours of primitive recursive (PR) algorithms. This class is the set of primitive recursive functions that have a null basic case of recursion. This result is obtained using the property of ultimate unarity and a geometrical approach of sequential functions on N the set of positive integers.

A Compositional Approach to Synchronize Two Dimensional Networks of Processors

Salvatore La Torre, Margherita Napoli, Mimmo Parente (2010)

RAIRO - Theoretical Informatics and Applications

The problem of synchronizing a network of identical processors that work synchronously at discrete steps is studied. Processors are arranged as an array of m rows and n columns and can exchange each other only one bit of information. We give algorithms which synchronize square arrays of (n × n) processors and give some general constructions to synchronize arrays of (m × n) processors. Algorithms are given to synchronize in time n2, n log n , n n and 2n a square array of (n × n) processors. Our approach...

A conjecture on the concatenation product

Jean-Eric Pin, Pascal Weil (2001)

RAIRO - Theoretical Informatics and Applications - Informatique Théorique et Applications

In a previous paper, the authors studied the polynomial closure of a variety of languages and gave an algebraic counterpart, in terms of Mal’cev products, of this operation. They also formulated a conjecture about the algebraic counterpart of the boolean closure of the polynomial closure – this operation corresponds to passing to the upper level in any concatenation hierarchy. Although this conjecture is probably true in some particular cases, we give a counterexample in the general case. Another...

A factor graph based genetic algorithm

B. Hoda Helmi, Adel T. Rahmani, Martin Pelikan (2014)

International Journal of Applied Mathematics and Computer Science

We propose a new linkage learning genetic algorithm called the Factor Graph based Genetic Algorithm (FGGA). In the FGGA, a factor graph is used to encode the underlying dependencies between variables of the problem. In order to learn the factor graph from a population of potential solutions, a symmetric non-negative matrix factorization is employed to factorize the matrix of pair-wise dependencies. To show the performance of the FGGA, encouraging experimental results on different separable problems...
