Breakthrough-Induced Loop Formation in Evolving Transport Networks
Stanisław Żukowski, Annemiek Johanna Maria Cornelissen, Florian Osselin +2
Transport networks, such as vasculature or river networks, provide key functions in organisms and the environment. They usually contain loops whose significance for the stability a…
A growth model driven by curvature reproduces geometric features of arboreal termite nests
Giulio Facchini, Alexandre Lazarescu, Andrea Perna +1
We present a simple three-dimensional model to describe the autonomous expansion of a substrate which grows driven by the local mean curvature of its surface. The model aims to rep…
On necessary and sufficient conditions for proto-cell stationary growth
Erwan Bigan, Stéphane Douady, Jean-Marc Steyaert
We consider a generic proto-cell model consisting of any conservative chemical reaction network embedded within a membrane. The membrane results from the self-assembly of one of th…
Properties of Random Complex Chemical Reaction Networks and Their Relevance to Biological Toy Models
Erwan Bigan, Jean-Marc Steyaert, Stéphane Douady
We investigate the properties of large random conservative chemical reaction networks composed of elementary reactions endowed with either mass-action or saturating kinetics, assig…
Analytical Solution of the Proprio-Graviceptive equation for shoot gravitropism of plants
Renaud Bastien, Bruno Moulia, Stéphane Douady +1
We derive the analytical solutions to the second order generalised gravi-proprioceptive equation given in our recent paper [Bastien et al. 2012]. These equations show how plants ad…
Hypergraphs and City Street Networks
Thomas Courtat, Catherine Gloaguen, Stéphane Douady
The map of a city's streets constitutes a particular case of spatial complex network. However a city is not limited to its topology: it is above all a geometrical object whose part…
