| A '''bigraph''' (often used in the plural '''bigraphs''') can be modelled as the superposition of a [[Graph (mathematics)|graph]] (the ''link graph'') and a set of [[Tree (mathematics)|trees]] (the ''place graph'').<ref name="intro">''[http://www.itu.dk/research/pls/wiki/index.php/A_Brief_Introduction_To_Bigraphs A Brief Introduction To Bigraphs]'', [[IT University of Copenhagen]], Denmark.</ref><ref name="milner">Milner, Robin.

| ==Anatomy of a bigraph==
| |
| | |
| Aside from nodes and (hyper-)edges, a bigraph may have associated with it one or more ''regions'' which are roots in the place forest, and zero or more ''holes'' in the place graph, into which other bigraph regions may be inserted. Similarly, to nodes we may assign ''controls'' that define identities and an arity (the number of ''ports'' for a given node to which link-graph edges may connect). These controls are drawn from a bigraph ''signature''. In the link graph we define ''inner'' and ''outer'' names, which define the connection points at which coincident names may be fused to form a single link.
| |
| | |
| ==Foundations==
| |
| | |
| A bigraph is a 5-tuple:
| |
| | |
| <math>(V,E,ctrl,prnt,link) : \langle k,X \rangle \to \langle m,Y \rangle,</math>
| |
| | |
| where <math>V</math> is a set of nodes, <math>E</math> is a set of edges, <math>ctrl</math> is the ''control map'' that assigns controls to nodes, <math>prnt</math> is the ''parent map'' that defines the nesting of nodes, and <math>link</math> is the ''link map'' that defines the link structure.
| |
| | |
| The notation <math>\langle k,X \rangle \to \langle m,Y \rangle</math> indicates that the bigraph has <math>k</math> ''holes'' (sites) and a set of inner names <math>X</math> and <math>m</math> ''regions'', with a set of ''outer names'' <math>Y</math>. These are respectively known as the ''inner'' and ''outer'' interfaces of the bigraph.
| |
| | |
| Formally speaking, each bigraph is an arrow in a symmetric partial [[monoidal category]] (usually abbreviated ''spm-category'') in which the objects are these interfaces.<ref>{{cite conference

The title of the author is Figures but it's not the most masucline title out there. To gather coins is 1 of the things I adore most. Hiring is her day occupation now but she's usually wanted her own company. For a whilst I've been in South Dakota and my mothers and fathers reside nearby.
