Two Hands Are Better Than One (up to constant factors): Self-Assembly In The 2HAM vs. aTAM

We study the difference between the standard seeded model (aTAM) of tile self-assembly, and the "seedless" two-handed model of tile self-assembly (2HAM). Most of our results suggest that the two-handed model is more powerful. In particular, we show how to simulate any seeded system with a...
