We provide an overview of some current developments on code-related properties of DNA languages. A DNA language is a set of words, each of which is made up of the letters A, C, G, T. Such a word is meant to represent a physical DNA strand. A collection of DNA strands can be stored in-vitro and, either serve the purpose of a database, or undergo a sequence of controlled bio-operations that would constitute a meaningful computation. In both cases, the strands should be chosen in such a way that they would not form unwanted hybridizations with each other and any errors in the nucleotides comprising the strands can be detected. These requirements can be translated in the framework of formal language theory by considering DNA languages whose words satisfy certain combinatorial properties. We consider two types of desirable properties: static and dynamic. The former ensure that no unwanted hybridizations can occur. The latter ensure that, after a permitted bio-operation is applied to the strands, the resulting strands also satisfy the desirable properties.

Multi-agent systems comprise entities whose individual decision making behavior may depend on one another's. Game-theory provides apposite concepts to reason in a math.matically precise fashion about such interactive and interdependent situations. This paper concerns a logical analysis of the game-theoretical notions of Nash equilibrium and its subgame perfect variety as they apply to a particular class of extensive games of perfect information. Extensive games are defined as a special type of labelled graph and we argue that modal languages can be employed in their description. We propose a logic for a multi-modal language and prove its completeness with respect to a class of frames that correspond with a particular class of extensive games. In this multimodal language (subgame perfect) Nash equilibria can be characterized. Finally, we show how this approach can formally be refined by using Prepositional Dynamic Logic (PDL), though we leave completeness as an open question.

In many disciplines, such as social and behavioral sciences, we often have to do ordinal classification by assigning objects to ordinal classes. The fundamental objective of ordinal classification is to create an ordering in the universe of discourse. As such, a decision tree for ordinal classification should aim at producing an ordering which is most consistent with the implicit ordering in the input data. Ordinal classification problems are often dealt with by treating ordinal classes as nominal classes, or by representing the classes as values on a quantitative scale. Such approaches may not lead to the most desirable results since the methods do not fit the type of data, viz. ordinal data, concerned. In this paper, we propose a new measure for assessing the quality of output from an ordinal classification approach. We also propose an induction method to generate an ordinal decision tree for ordinal classification based on this quality perspective. We demonstrate the advantage of our method using results from a set of experiments.

Fuzzy Decision Tree (FDT) induction is an extraction technique of fuzzy rules, which has been widely used in handling ambiguous classification problems related to human's thought and sense. The entire process of building FDT is based on a specified parameter (called significant level) which seriously affects the computation of fuzzy entropy and classification result of FDT. Since the value of this parameter is usually given in terms of human experience while building a FDT, it is very difficult to determine its optimal value. This paper makes an attempt to give some guidelines for how to automatically choose the optimal value of this parameter by analyzing analytic expression between this parameter and fuzzy entropy and further by investigating the decision tree's sensitivity to the parameter perturbation.

Representation theorems for systems of regions have been of interest for some time, and various contexts have been used for this purpose: Mormann has demonstrated the fruitfulness of the methods of continuous lattices to obtain a topological representation theorem for his formalisation of Whiteheadian ontological theory of space;similar results have been obtained by Roeper. In this note, we prove a topological representation theorem for a connection based class of systems, using methods and tools from the theory of proximity spaces. The key novelty is a new proximity semantics for connection relations.

In this study, both the kinetic and diffusive behaviors of the parabolic control problem of integral quadratic cost functional solvable by the Extended Conjugate Gradient Method (ECGM) were examined. Using a Hamiltonian formulation as a solution to this problem, temperature was obtained as the rate of change with time of the source.

Self-recovery micro-rollback synthesis (SMS) has currently become an important issue in high level synthesis. The problem of SMS combines the problem of functional unit scheduling and assignment with the problem of checkpoint insertion and microprogram optimization. It has been shown that these problems are NP-complete. The most studied problem is functional unit scheduling and assignment. Several heuristic techniques, including as soon as possible (ASAP), as last as possible (ALAP), integer programming, spring elasticity model, graph based mobility model, and genetic algorithm, are proposed. However, there are few studies on self-recovery micro-rollback synthesis and the technique of solution space searching by genetic algorithm has not been attempted. We study the feasibility of the genetic algorithm for the problem of SMS constrained on: the number of functional units, control steps, number of checkpoints, and the functional unit areas.
