Algorithm as Defining Dynamic Systems

Data Structures and Algorithms 2009-11-03 v1

Abstract

This paper proposes a new view to algorithms, Algorithms as defining dynamic systems. This view extends the traditional, deterministic view that an algorithm is a step by step procedure with nondeterminism. As a dynamic system can be designed by a set of its defining laws, it is also desirable to design an algorithm by a (possibly nondeterministic) set of defining laws. This observation requires some changes to algorithm development. We propose a two step approach, the first step is to design an algorithm via a set of defining laws of dynamic system. The second step is to translate these laws (written in a natural language) into a formal language such as linear logic.
