A sequential solution to the density classification task using an intermediate alphabet

Discrete Mathematics 2024-09-11 v1

Abstract

We present a sequential cellular automaton of radius 2 1 as a solution to the density classification task that makes use of an intermediate alphabet, and converges to a clean fixed point with no remaining auxiliary or intermediate information. We extend this solution to arbitrary finite alphabets and to configurations in higher dimensions.
