Each state is characterized by a set of binary features, and differs from some other neighbor state or states by just one of those feature. A simple example of a `state' is a partial solution of a jigsaw puzzle, which can be transformed into another partial solution or into the final solution just by adding or removing a single adjoining piece. The evolution of such a system over time is considered. Such a structure is analyzed from algebraic and probabilistic (stochastic) standpoints.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Springer","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":45275170144407,"sku":"9783642090837","price":7277.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9783642090837.webp?v=1769282103","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/media-theory-interdisciplinary-applied-mathematics-9783642090837","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
