title: Representing and defining patterns by graphs: applications to sol-gel patterns and to cytoskeleton.
abstract: The problems of interdisciplinary interests--applying methods of graph theory to sol-gel patterns and to cytoskeleton--are discussed. The importance of sol-gel transition phenomena in living cells and the possibility of periodic sol-gel transition phenomena are briefly reviewed. Representing patterns by graphs and using graph probabilistic representation for calculating structure-property relationships are discussed and applied to sol-gel transition patterns.
