Growth of a tree with allocations rules: Part 2 Dynamics

Abstract

Following up on a previous work we examine a model of transportation network in some source-sink flow paradigm subjected to growth and resource allocation. The model is inspired from plants, and we add rules and factors that are analogous to what plants are subjected to. We study how different resource allocation schemes affect the tree and how the schemes interact with additional factors such as embedding the network into a 3D space and applying gravity or shading. The different outcomes are discussed. PACS. 05.45.-a Nonlinear dynamics and chaos-05.65.+b Self-organized systems
