We consider the firing squad synchronization problems for paths in the two and the three-dimensional grid spaces. Minimal-time solutions of these problems are not known and are unlikely to exist. However, at present we have no proofs of…
The firing squad synchronization problem (FSSP, for short) is a problem in automata theory introduced in 1957 by John Myhill. Its goal is to design a finite automaton A such that, if copies of A are placed in a line and connected and are…
We propose two uniform solutions to an open question: the Firing Squad Synchronization Problem (FSSP), for hyperdag and symmetric neural P systems, with anonymous cells. Our solutions take e_c+5 and 6e_c+7 steps, respectively, where e_c is…
The firing squad synchronization problem (FSSP) on cellular automata has been studied extensively for more than forty years, and a rich variety of synchronization algorithms have been proposed for not only one-dimensional arrays but…
We present different classes of solutions to the Firing Squad Synchronization Problem on networks of different shapes. The nodes are finite state processors that work at unison discrete steps. The networks considered are the line, the ring…

The question of global existence or non-existence of solution to a given stochastic partial differential equation under some non-linear conditions always comes to mind. To show that our weak-predictable random field solutions do not have…
