Previous studies have found that text content in handwritten fonts affects individual behavior. However, the role played by handwritten font of environmental slogans in scenic spots on the tourists’ garbage sorting intention is not clear. From the perspective of social informatio...

Proper distance and number of properly colored paths in edge-colored hypercubes and folded hypercubes

In edge-colored graphs, a path is said to be properly colored when consecutive edges have different colors. A graph is properly connected if for every pair of vertices there exists such a path between them. The length of a shortest properly colored path connecting two vertices de...

From Digital Documentation to Rule-Based Regeneration: A Shape Grammar Approach to Decorative Patterns Derived from a Huizhou Chastity Archway, China

The digital preservation of architectural heritage often remains limited to static documentation, with insufficient support for the structured analysis and contemporary reuse of decorative patterns. This study proposes a shape grammar-based digital approach for analyzing, generat...
