Dataset 3 - Mathematical Modeling of Growth for Climbing Plants

This dateset collects some models of climbing plants in the framework of the Task 3.4 of the Growbot project.  In particular, it focuses on models describing the climbing plants' secondary growth, emphasizing such a behavior as an optimal way to allocate biomass and maximize climbing plants's reach.

The models are described in the following preprints:

A 2D Model to describe the mechano-sensory behaviour of self-supporting shoots of climbing plants against gravity (2023), G. Vecchiato; T. Hattermann;  M. Palladino; P. Heuret; N. P. Rowe;  P. Marcati, submitted preprint

Searcher-Shoot: a Reinforcement Learning approach to understand climbing plant behaviour (2023), L. Nasti;  G. Vecchiato; T. Hattermann;  P. Heuret; N. P. Rowe;  M. Palladino;  P. Marcati, preprint

An optimal control approach to the problem of the longest self-supporting structure (2023), G. Vecchiato; M. Palladino; P. Marcati, submitted preprint
