A number-conserving cellular automaton is a cellular automaton whose states are integers and whose transition function keeps the sum of all cells constant throughout its evolution. It can be seen as a kind of modelization of the physical…
Wolfram has provided a qualitative classification of cellular automata(CA) rules according to which, there exits a class of CA rules (called Class 4) which exhibit complex pattern formation and long-lived dynamical activity (long…
Cellular automata on the triangular grid are here referred to as Triangular Automata (TA). This paper focuses on the simplest class of TA, called Elementary Triangular Automata (ETA). They are argued to be the two-dimensional counterpart of…
While for synchronous deterministic cellular automata there is an accepted definition of reversibility, the situation is less clear for asynchronous cellular automata. We first discuss a few possibilities and then investigate what we call…
When using a cellular automaton (CA) as a fractal generator, consider orbits from the single site seed, an initial configuration that gives only a single cell a positive value. In the case of a two-state CA, since the possible states of…
We study a coarse-graining procedure for quantum cellular automata on hypercubic lattices that consists in grouping neighboring cells into tiles and selecting a subspace within each tile. This is done in such a way that multiple evolution…
Quantum cellular automata consist in arrays of identical finite-dimensional quantum systems, evolving in discrete-time steps by iterating a unitary operator G. Moreover the global evolution G is required to be causal (it propagates…
In this work we provide analytic results of infinite one-dimensional cellular automaton(CA). By realizing symbolic products, we investigate a subclass of infinite CA and prove analytically that within this subclass the only allowed…
In this work, the one-dimensional Cellular Automaton is extended to one that involves two sets of symbols and two global rules. As a main result, the Extended Curtis-Hedlund-Lyndon Theorem is demonstrated. Such constructions can be useful…
There are few known universality classes of absorbing phase transitions in one dimension and most models fall in the well-known directed percolation (DP) class. Synchronization is a transition to an absorbing state and this transition is…
Most slowly synchronizing automata over binary alphabets are circular, i.e., containing a letter permuting the states in a single cycle, and their set of synchronizing words has maximal state complexity, which also implies complete…
In this paper we study the word problem of groups corresponding to tessellations of the hyperbolic plane. In particular using the Fibonacci technology developed by the second author we show that groups corresponding to the pentagrid or the…
We Propose A Novel Automaton Model which uses Arithmetic Operations as the Evolving Rules, each cell has the states of the Natural Numbers k = (N), a radius of r = 1/2 and operates on an arbitrary input size. The Automaton reads an…
We show how to perform reversible universal quantum computation on a translationally invariant pure state, using only global operations based on next-neighbor interactions. We do not need not to break the translational symmetry of the state…
Quantum cellular automata are alternative quantum-computing paradigms to quantum Turing machines and quantum circuits. Their working mechanisms are inherently automated, therefore measurement free, and they act in a translation invariant…
A necessary and sufficient condition for a one-dimensional q-state n-input cellular automaton rule to be number-conserving is established. Two different forms of simpler and more visual representations of these rules are given, and their…
We define quantum cellular automata as infinite quantum lattice systems with discrete time dynamics, such that the time step commutes with lattice translations and has strictly finite propagation speed. In contrast to earlier definitions…
While binary nearest-neighbour cellar automata (CA) have been studied in detail and from many different angles, the same cannot be said about ternary (three-state) CA rules. We present some results of our explorations of a small subset of…
Computing the configuration of any one-dimensional cellular automaton at generation $n$ can be accelerated by constructing and running a composite rule with a radius proportional to $\log n$. The new automaton is the original one, but with…
Unitarity of the global evolution is an extremely stringent condition on finite state models in discrete spacetime. Quantum cellular automata, in particular, are tightly constrained. In previous work we proved a simple No-go Theorem which…
