This paper introduces vector agents (VA), an approach to impose a systematic framework on the geometric element of Torrens and Benenson's Geographic Automata System (GAS). Both schemes use vector geometry as an antidote to the geographically unrealistic regular tessellation cellular automata (CA). The work reported here explores the properties of irregular and dynamic VAs in particular, a subclass of geometry not hitherto covered in detail in a spatial agent modelling context. Three realisations of vector agent geometry change are reported in this paper: the Brownian motion algorithm (through midpoint displacement); edge displacement; and vertex displacement. Through these manipulators, it is shown that vector agents offer the ability to explicitly control geometric form through the alteration of simple parameters (with the potential for further generalisation and transformation operations).

The qualitative behavior of the dynamics of an adiabatic flash with constant volumes and pressure is studied. ff the phase equilibria are thermodynamically stable, the ordinary differential balance equations describing the dynamics can be interpreted as a gradient system on a Riemannian manifold whe
A twist drill is characterized by complex geometry which is a direct function of the sharpening method used. This geometry has been studied by several investigators attempting to understand the cutting mechanism of the drill point. Each cutting lip has been considered analogous to a single edge cutt
