An introduction to tile-based self-assembly and a survey of recent results

MJ Patitz - Natural Computing, 2014 - Springer
We first give an introduction to the field of tile-based self-assembly, focusing primarily on
theoretical models and their algorithmic nature. We start with a description of Winfree's …

The non-cooperative tile assembly model is not intrinsically universal or capable of bounded Turing machine simulation

PÉ Meunier, D Woods - proceedings of the 49th annual ACM SIGACT …, 2017 - dl.acm.org
The field of algorithmic self-assembly is concerned with the computational and expressive
power of nanoscale self-assembling molecular systems. In the well-studied cooperative, or …

Building squares with optimal state complexity in restricted active self-assembly

RM Alaniz, D Caballero, SC Cirlos, T Gomez… - Journal of Computer and …, 2023 - Elsevier
Tile Automata is a recently defined model of self-assembly that borrows many concepts from
cellular automata to create active self-assembling systems where changes may be occurring …

The program-size complexity of self-assembled paths

PÉ Meunier, D Regnault, D Woods - … of the 52nd Annual ACM SIGACT …, 2020 - dl.acm.org
We prove a Pum** Lemma for the noncooperative abstract Tile Assembly Model, a model
central to the theory of algorithmic self-assembly since the beginning of the field. This theory …

The power of duples (in self-assembly): It's not so hip to be square

J Hendricks, MJ Patitz, TA Rogers… - Theoretical Computer …, 2018 - Elsevier
In this paper we define the Dupled abstract Tile Assembly Model (DaTAM), which is a slight
extension to the abstract Tile Assembly Model (aTAM) that allows for not only the standard …

Optimal staged self-assembly of general shapes

C Chalk, E Martinez, R Schweller, L Vega, A Winslow… - Algorithmica, 2018 - Springer
We analyze the number of tile types t, bins b, and stages necessary to assemble n * nn× n
squares and scaled shapes in the staged tile assembly model. For n * nn× n squares, we …

Directed non-cooperative tile assembly is decidable

PÉ Meunier, D Regnault - 27th International Conference on DNA …, 2021 - drops.dagstuhl.de
We provide a complete characterisation of all final states of a model called directed non-
cooperative tile self-assembly, also called directed temperature 1 tile assembly, which …

On the effects of hierarchical self-assembly for reducing program-size complexity

S Cannon, ED Demaine, ML Demaine… - Theoretical Computer …, 2021 - Elsevier
In this paper we present a series of results which show separations between the standard
seeded model of self-assembly, Winfree's abstract Tile Assembly Model (aTAM), and the …
