Towards a Stationary Monge-Kantorovich Dynamics: The Physarum Polycephalum Experience [PDF]
SIAM Journal on Applied Mathematics, 2016 In this work we propose an extension to the continuous setting of a model describing the dynamics of slime mold, Physarum Polycephalum (PP), which was proposed to simulate the ability of PP to find the shortest path connecting two food sources in a maze.

Slime Mould Games Based on Rough Set Theory
International Journal of Applied Mathematics and Computer Science, 2018 We define games on the medium of plasmodia of slime mould, unicellular organisms that look like giant amoebae. The plasmodia try to occupy all the food pieces they can detect. Thus, two different plasmodia can compete with each other.

Origin and evolution of the slime molds (Mycetozoa) [PDF]
, 1997 The Mycetozoa include the cellular (dictyostelid), acellular (myxogastrid), and protostelid slime molds. However, available molecular data are in disagreement on both the monophyly and phylogenetic position of the group.

Approximating Mexican highways with slime mould
, 2010 Plasmodium of Physarum polycephalum is a single cell visible by unaided eye. During its foraging behavior the cell spans spatially distributed sources of nutrients with a protoplasmic network. Geometrical structure of the protoplasmic networks allows the

P-bRS: A Physarum-Based Routing Scheme for Wireless Sensor Networks
The Scientific World Journal, 2014 Routing in wireless sensor networks (WSNs) is an extremely challenging issue due to the features of WSNs. Inspired by the large and single-celled amoeboid organism, slime mold Physarum polycephalum, we establish a novel selecting next hop model (SNH ...

Sterol content of the Myxomycetes Physarum polycephalum and P. flavicomum
Journal of Lipid Research, 1976 The sterol content of two Myxomycetes, Physarum polycephalum and P. flavicomum has been examined. The sterols of the two species are apparently identical, the two major sterols in each being poriferasterol and 22-dihydroporiferasterol.

Slime mould computes planar shapes [PDF]
, 2011 Computing a polygon defining a set of planar points is a classical problem of modern computational geometry. In laboratory experiments we demonstrate that a concave hull, a connected alpha-shape without holes, of a finite planar set is approximated by ...

A Biophysical Approach to the Design of Networks of Communication Systems
Mathematical Methods in the Applied Sciences, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Inspired by the growth dynamics of the protist Physarum polycephalum, we employ a formalism that describes adaptive, incompressible Hagen‐Poiseuille flows on channel networks to identify graphs connecting different nodes within Euclidean space. These graphs are either suboptimal or optimal relative to their length.
