We define and study a few properties of a class of random automata networks. While regular finite one-dimensional cellular automata are defined on periodic lattices, these automata networks, called randomized cellular automata, are defined…

Non-uniform cellular automata (NUCA) are an extension of cellular automata (CA), which transform cells according to multiple different local rules. A NUCA is defined by a configuration of local rules called a local rule distribution. We…

We study the classification of cellular-automaton update rules into Wolfram's four classes. We start with the notion of the input entropy of a spatiotemporal block in the evolution of a cellular automaton, and build on it by introducing two…
