Abstract
In this paper, the author has concentrated to the branching network structures such as the tree branches, root networks and arterial branch systems. The optimality of natural branching network systems is discussed and dominant parameters to control the branching networks are extracted. Then, the acquired branching and growth rules are used to simulate the construction of the numerical model of branching system. Some numerical examples of branching tree growth simulation in the two-and three-dimensional space will be shown, and the optimality of the simulated networks will be discussed.
