Zebra-Like Patterns Generated By Linear PDE
I wrote some code which basically computes the color value $c_{t+1,x,y}$ of a pixel at time $t+1$ and position $(x,y)$ by taking adding linear transformations of the values $c_{t,x,y}-c_{t-1,x,y}$, $...

Efficiently generating consistent procedural sequences from random seed and a start point?
This isn't coming from graphics but more from some simple synthetic data generation problem but I have a hunch there are tricks from landscape generation to use here. Consider the line (1d) for ...
