Sequentially-Closed And Forward-Closed String Rewriting Systems, Yu Zhang Jan 2020

Sequentially-Closed And Forward-Closed String Rewriting Systems, Yu Zhang

Legacy Theses & Dissertations (2009 - 2024)

In this dissertation we introduce the new concept of sequentially-closed string rewriting systems which generalizes forward-closed string rewriting systems and monadic string rewriting systems. We also investigate subclasses and properties of finite and regular sequentially-closed systems and forward-closed systems.

Using Systems Archetypes And Generic Structures To Support Water Resource Management Studies : The Case Of Cropping Pattern Change In New Mexico State, Babak Bahaddin

Legacy Theses & Dissertations (2009 - 2024)

Part of this issues is caused by the extreme complexity of the systems and another part is caused by the lack of a universal language with which managers can communicate their lessons. This dissertation offers a set of tools that have been previously manufactured in systems science, and more specifically in System Dynamics.
