Rice's theorem for generic limit sets of cellular automata

Discrete Mathematics 2021-06-16 v1 Dynamical Systems

Abstract

The generic limit set of a cellular automaton is a topologically dened set of congurations that intends to capture the asymptotic behaviours while avoiding atypical ones. It was dened by Milnor then studied by Djenaoui and Guillon rst, and by T{\"o}rm{\"a} later. They gave properties of this set related to the dynamics of the cellular automaton, and the maximal complexity of its language. In this paper, we prove that every non trivial property of these generic limit sets of cellular automata is undecidable.
