Biogeography is the study of the geographical distribution of biological organisms. Mathematical equations that govern the distribution of organisms were first discovered and developed during the 1960s. The mindset of the engineer is that we can learn from nature. This motivates the application of biogeography to optimization problems. Just as the mathematics of biological genetics inspired the development...
In this paper we will investigate transformations that serve as tools in the design of new data structures. Specifically, we study general methods for converting static structures (in which all elements are known before any searches are performed) to dynamic structures (in which the insertion of a new element can be mixed with searches). We will see three classes of such transformations (each based...
A generalization of automata theory is constructed using multivalued functions of several arguments and with several results rather than the single valued functions of a single argument which appear in conventional automata theory. Algebraic rules are developed for composing such functions which enable one to specify an element of a semigroup which represents a composite function and a convenient...
