We systematically study the boundaries of one-dimensional, 2-color cellular automata depending on 4 cells, begun from simple initial conditions. We determine the exact growth rates of the boundaries that appear to be reducible. Morphic…
Reversibility of a one-dimensional finite cellular automaton (CA) is dependent on lattice size. A finite CA can be reversible for a set of lattice sizes. On the other hand, reversibility of an infinite CA, which is decided by exploring the…
Biological systems are notorious for complex behavior within short timescales (e.g. metabolic activity) and longer time scales (e.g. evolutionary selection), along with their complex spatial organization. Because of their complexity and…
Let $X=S^G$ where $G$ is a countable group and $S$ is a finite set. A cellular automaton (CA) is an endomorphism $T : X \to X$ (continuous, commuting with the action of $G$). Shereshevsky (1993) proved that for $G=Z^d$ with $d>1$ no CA can…
Interacting, self-propelled particles such as epithelial cells can dynamically self-organize into complex multicellular patterns, which are challenging to classify without a priori information. Classically, different phases and phase…
Following work by Hochman and Meyerovitch on multidimensional SFT, we give computability-theoretic characterizations of the real numbers that can appear as the topological entropies of one-dimensional and two-dimensional cellular automata.
Within the class of stochastic cellular automata models of traffic flows, we look at the velocity dependent randomization variant (VDR-TCA) whose parameters take on a specific set of extreme values. These initial conditions lead us to the…
Cellular Automata are discrete--time dynamical systems on a spatially extended discrete space which provide paradigmatic examples of nonlinear phenomena. Their stochastic generalizations, i.e., Probabilistic Cellular Automata, are discrete…
We study networks representing the dynamics of elementary 1-d cellular automata (CA) on finite lattices. We analyze scaling behaviors of both local and global network properties as a function of system size. The scaling of the largest node…
We investigate how increasing the dimension of the array can help to draw signals on cellular automata.We show the existence of a gap of constructible signals in any dimension. We exhibit two cellular automata in dimension 2 to show that…
Cellular automata generate spatially extended, temporally persistent emergent structures from local update rules. No general method derives the mechanisms of that generation from the rule itself; existing tools reconstruct structure from…
We give new sufficient ergodicity conditions for two-state probabilistic cellular automata (PCA) of any dimension and any radius. The proof of this result is based on an extended version of the duality concept. Under these assumptions, in…
Cellular automata are a discrete dynamical system which models massively parallel computation. Much attention is devoted to computations with small time complexity for which the parallelism may provide further possibilities. In this paper,…
Global dynamics of a non-linear Cellular Automata is, in general irregular, asymmetric and unpredictable as opposed to that of a linear CA, which is highly systematic and tractable. In the past efforts have been made to systematize…
Since their inception at {\it Macy conferences} in later 1940s complex systems remain the most controversial topic of inter-disciplinary sciences. The term `complex system' is the most vague and liberally used scientific term. Using…
In a probabilistic cellular automaton in which all local transitions have positive probability, the problem of keeping a bit of information indefinitely is nontrivial, even in an infinite automaton. Still, there is a solution in 2…
We study the influence of the dimension of cellular automata (CA) for real time language recognition of one-dimensional languages with parallel input. Specifically, we focus on the question of determining whether every language that can be…
Lattice geometry profoundly shapes physical phenomena such as subsystem symmetry and directed percolation (DP). Among various lattice geometries, hyperbolic lattices are characterized by constant negative curvature and non-Abelian…
Most current methods for identifying coherent structures in spatially-extended systems rely on prior information about the form which those structures take. Here we present two new approaches to automatically filter the changing…
We address the dynamics of the cellular automaton (CA) that multiplies by $p/q$ in base $pq$ (for coprime $p>q>1$) by studying its trace subshift. We present a conjugacy of the trace to a previously studied base-$p/q$ numeration system. We…
