When chemistry meets mathematics

Maze solving and finding the shortest path or all paths in a maze are interesting and challenging mathematical problems. These problems are important in robotics, urban transportation, and they provide model problems of network and graph theory. In the past decades several unconventional computing methods have been proposed to solve a maze and to find its shortest path. In this lecture I will review the chemical-based methods, in which chemistry plays an important role in phenomena that drive the computation.
