This paper presents a computational model of verb acquisition which uses what we will call the principle of structured overeommitment to eliminate the need for negative evidence. The learner escapes from the need to be told that certain possibilities cannot occur (i.e., are "ungrammatical") by one simple expedient: It assumes that all properties it has observed are either obligatory or forbidde...

A simple reversible Turing machine with four states, three symbols and no halting configuration is constructed that has no periodic orbit, simplifying a construction by Blondel, Cassaigne and Nichitiu and positively answering a conjecture by Kari and Ollinger. The constructed machine has other interesting properties: it is symmetric both for space and time and has a topologically minimal associ...

A cellular automaton is a parallel synchronous computing model, which consists in a juxtaposition of finite automata whose state evolves according to that of their neighbors. It induces a dynamical system on the set of configurations, i.e. the infinite sequences of cell states. The limit set of the cellular automaton is the set of configurations which can be reached arbitrarily late in the evol...

Patterned self-assembly tile set synthesis (Pats) aims at finding a minimum tile set to uniquely self-assemble a given rectangular (color) pattern. For k ≥ 1, k-Pats is a variant of Pats that restricts input patterns to those with at most k colors. A computer-assisted proof has been recently proposed for 2-Pats by Kari et al. [arXiv:1404.0967 (2014)]. In contrast, the best known manually-checka...
