Phototactic Supersmarticles
Sarah Cannon, Joshua J. Daymude, William Savoie +5
Smarticles, or smart active particles, are small robots equipped with only basic movement and sensing abilities that are incapable of rotating or displacing individually. We study…
A Stochastic Approach to Shortcut Bridging in Programmable Matter
Marta Andrés Arroyo, Sarah Cannon, Joshua J. Daymude +2
In a self-organizing particle system, an abstraction of programmable matter, simple computational elements called particles with limited memory and communication self-organize to s…
Analyzing Boltzmann Samplers for Bose-Einstein Condensates with Dirichlet Generating Functions
Megan Bernstein, Matthew Fahrbach, Dana Randall
Boltzmann sampling is commonly used to uniformly sample objects of a particular size from large combinatorial sets. For this technique to be effective, one needs to prove that (1)…
Sampling Biased Monotonic Surfaces using Exponential Metrics
Sam Greenberg, Dana Randall, Amanda Pascoe Streib
Monotonic surfaces spanning finite regions of arise in many contexts, including DNA-based self-assembly, card-shuffling and lozenge tilings. One method that has been used to…
