A genome of a living organism consists of a long string of symbols over a finite alphabet carrying critical information for the organism. This includes its ability to control post natal growth, homeostasis, adaptation to ...

Economic Dynamical Systems can be studied in the frame of a new approach based on the definition of regimes (symbols) and their time evolution. In the present work, the probabilistic theory of runs is suggested as a useful ...

In this course we will focus on dynamical systems whose phase space is a Cantor set. The most famous examples (but no t the only ones) of such systems are the subshifts on finite alphabets. We will introduce the concept ...

We find that a symbolic walk (SW) - performed by a walker with memory given by a Bernoulli shift - is able to distinguish between the random or chaotic topology of a given network. We show this result by means of studying ...

The main objective of this article is to review the phenomenological theory of time in philosophy and the process of symbol formation in developmental psychology in order to explore a first approach to the integration of ...

In this paper, we describe a digital scenario where we simulated the emergence of self-organized symbol-based communication among artificial creatures inhabiting a virtual world of unpredictable predatory events. In our ...

The centralizer (automorphism group) and normalizer (extended symmetry group) of the shift action inside the group of self-homeomorphisms are studied, in the context of certain Z(d) subshifts with a hierarchical supertile ...
