COMP 4/6601 MODELS OF COMPUTATION
HOMEWORK 7
DUE: November 20, 4:00pm

1. Determine the structure Of phase-space of the two neuron net with
identity threshold activation functions and weight matrix
|-1 2 |
| 2 0 |
[You need to partition the state space into three regions F (fixed
points/memories), P (orbits of ALL initial conditions that result in a
periodic orbit of period >), and Q (all other initial conditions that
do not settle anywhere).]
2. Find the H-distance between poligos X={catagggagctg, cagctccctatg}
and Y={tattaccggcgt, acgccggtaata}.
[The H-distance |X,Y| between two poligos X={x,x'} and Y={y,y'} is the
minimum of all Hamming distances between overlaps of x and (left or
right) shifts of y, or their complements x',y'. For example,
|cgtac,gtacg|=0
because they match perfectly as complements (at shift=0). Don't forget that
WC -complemntation requires reversing and exchanging a't's and c-g's.]
3. Find a 12-mer encoding for as large an instance of HamP as you can
subject to the condition that the H-distance between any two vertices
and/or edges is at least 7.
BONUS: If you can increase 7 to a larger lower bound, you get extra credit.
4. Find the solution strands for the instance in Problem 3.
5. Find a set of 20-mer strands that folds into the following three shapes
(uniformly in number) under appropriate hybridization conditions:
```````````___``````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````
``````````/```\`````````````````````-----```````````````````````````````````
`````````/`````\```````````````````/`````\``````````````````````````````````
```------```````------```````------```````------````````-------------------`
```------```````------```````------```````------````````-------------------`
`````````\`````/```````````````````\`````/``````````````````````````````````
````````` \```/`````````````````````-----```````````````````````````````````
```````````---``````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````
[The number of strands is your choice. A multiple of 3 over 15 would be nice.]

shit...did my probability homework last night...did some studying for my number theory quiz...i got the 3 regular problems right, but i didn't get the 2 bonus problems...ah well...before work i swung by Lastchance looking for that new Electric Eels comp...they didn't have it, i did obtain Radiohead: I Might Be Wrong Live Recordings and i ordered the Electric Eels thing...work didn't last too long...it was slow so i had the luxury of getting home relatively early to do my homework...and i don't have to go back...well...didn't...i now have the daunting task of that models of comp hw i recently posted...i read the chapter tonight, hoping to get some insight into this subject...nope...the last homework i completely bombed all to hell...i only got one question mostly right...and i even screwed that up some...that's less than 1/5...i also need to do some research and finally get a project proposal written up...i also need to get it to him before noon...prob'ly before 11...the proposal...bleh...and then there's the two week late real analysis homework i haven't started yet...it'd be nice if i could finish that...but it's looking like i'll haveta skip that and get it in to her on wednesday...ugh...

i decided that i had no idea how to do the models homework at all and that even if i did do it, i'd get a low grade so it wouldn't matter too much in the long run...so i opted not to do it...we got back the last homework today and i actually got a 48...i think there might've been some curve action happening (sad, eh?) and in real analysis today, she handed back the homeworks...so i guess it's too late for me to do it now...god i suck...i'm really fucking lost in that class...tonight i'm trying to get my project proposal for models done...(the one that was originally due months ago...i'd better be able to come up w/ something that won't be rejected again...hopefully my last minute research can pull something worthy up...) i've really fucked myself in the ass this semester...oh well...that seems to be my common academic theme anyway...in other news, lately i've taken to playing minesweeper w/out using the flags...it's my new exciting passtime...i think that's all i had to say...
