k-neighborhood for Cellular Automata

Discrete Mathematics 2016-05-31 v1

Abstract

A neighborhood for d-dimensional cellular automata is introduced that spans the range from von Neumann to Moore neighborhood using a parameter which represents the dimension of hypercubes connecting neighboring cells. The neighborhood is extended to include a concept of radius. The number of neighbors is calculated. For diamond-shaped neighborhoods, a sequence is obtained whose partial sums equal Delannoy numbers.
