Application Of Swarm Clustering Theory To Optical Self-Organization, Ran Huang Jan 2006

Application Of Swarm Clustering Theory To Optical Self-Organization, Ran Huang

Graduate Theses and Dissertations

Swarm clustering is a biologically inspired technology, which mimics the behavior of an insect colony to solve unsupervised clustering problems. The unique mechanism of swarm clustering is self-organization which can form global patterns without centralized control. In this thesis, swarm-clustering models proposed by Deneubourg and by Lumer and Faieta are studied, implemented and improved by visualizing clustering results using true color representation. In nonlinear optical systems, self-organized patterns are often observed, such as hexagon formation in experiments with KNbO^Fe due to the photorefractive effect. Considering the particle feature of light, we propose to design a self-organizing system in which only …

Adult Attachment Networks: Relations To Coping And Psychological Difficulties, Karin Elizabeth Haus

Graduate Theses and Dissertations
