The book presents topics in discrete biomathematics. Mathematics
has been widely used in modeling biological phenomena. However, the
molecular and discrete nature of basic life processes suggests that
their logic follow principles that are intrinsically based on
discrete and informational mechanisms. The ultimate reason of
polymers, as key element of life, is directly based on the
computational power of strings, and the intrinsic necessity of
metabolism is related to the mathematical notion of multiset. The
switch of the two roots of bioinformatics suggests a change of
perspective. In bioinformatics, the biologists ask computer
scientists to assist them in processing biological data.
Conversely, in infobiotics mathematicians and computer scientists
investigate principles and theories yielding new interpretation
keys of biological phenomena. Life is too important to be
investigated by biologists alone, and though computers are
essential to process data from biological laboratories, many
fundamental questions about life can be appropriately answered by a
perspicacious intervention of mathematicians, computer scientists,
and physicists, who will complement the work of chemists,
biochemists, biologists, and medical investigators. The volume is
organized in seven chapters. The first part is devoted to research
topics (Discrete information and life, Strings and genomes,
Algorithms and Biorhythms, Life Strategies), the second one to
mathematical backgrounds (Numbers and Measures, Languages and
Grammars, Combinations and Chances).
