We present a numerical study of the nonlinear mechanical model for morphogenesis proposed by Oster et al. (1983) with the aim of establishing the pattern forming capability of the model. We present a technique for mode selection based on linear analysis and show that, in many cases, it is a reliable

We propose a model mechanism for the initiation and spatial positioning of teeth primordia in the alligator, Alligator mississippiensis. Detailed embryological studies by Westergaard & Ferguson (1986, 1987, 1990) show that jaw growth plays a crucial role in the developmental patterning of the tooth
A generalised stochastic process is obtained for the Boltzmann distribution function in quantun mechanics: this is an example of an objective state-space description of a quantum system.
The endgame in chess has proved surprisingly difficult to program satisfactorily, even in the most elementary cases. This paper presents a model aimed at facilitating the construction of simple algorithms based closely on the chessplayer's knowledge of significant patterns of pieces. The use of pat
How do animals acquire their various skin patterns? Although this question may seem easy, in fact it is very difficult to answer. The problem is that most animals have no related structures under the skin; therefore, the skin cells must form the patterns without the support of a prepattern. Recent p
