The minimal number of inputs in the local function of a non-trivial cellular automaton is two. Such a function can be viewed as as a kind of binary operation. If this operation is associative, it forms, together with the set of states, a…
We study the problem of sequentializing a cellular automaton without introducing any intermediate states, and only performing reversible permutations on the tape. We give a decidable characterization of cellular automata which can be…
Some deterministic cellular automata have been observed to follow the pattern of the second law of thermodynamics: starting from a partially disordered state, the system evolves towards a state of equilibrium characterized by maximal…
The mechanism which discriminates the pattern classes at the same $\lambda$, is found. It is closely related to the structure of the rule table and expressed by the numbers of the rules which break the strings of the quiescent states. It is…
