Cellular automata are one-dimensional arrays of interconnected interacting finite automata. We investigate one of the weakest classes, the real-time one-way cellular automata, and impose an additional restriction on their inter-cell…

Quantum cellular automata (QCAs) are automorphisms of tensor product algebras that preserve locality, with local quantum circuits as a simple example. We study approximate QCAs, where the locality condition is only satisfied up to a small…

A transition from asymmetric to symmetric patterns in time-dependent extended systems is described. It is found that one dimensional cellular automata, started from fully random initial conditions, can be forced to evolve into complex…

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…

The objective is to find a Cellular Automata rule that can form a 2D point pattern with a maximum number of points (1-cells). Points are not allowed to touch each other, they have to be separated by 0-cells, and every 0-cell can find at…

A universal map is derived for all deterministic 1D cellular automata (CA) containing no freely adjustable parameters. The map can be extended to an arbitrary number of dimensions and topologies and its invariances allow to classify all CA…

In dynamical systems such as cellular automata and iterated maps, it is often useful to look at a language or set of symbol sequences produced by the system. There are well-established classification schemes, such as the Chomsky hierarchy,…

Matrix regularity is a key to various problems in applied mathematics. The sufficient conditions, used for checking regularity of interval parametric matrices, usually fail in case of large parameter intervals. We present necessary and…
