In cellular automata with multiple speeds for each cell $i$ there is a positive integer $p_i$ such that this cell updates its state still periodically but only at times which are a multiple of $p_i$. Additionally there is a finite upper…
We compare several definitions for number-conserving cellular automata that we prove to be equivalent. A necessary and sufficient condition for \cas to be number-conserving is proved. Using this condition, we give a linear-time algorithm to…
If L=Z^D and A is a finite set, then A^L is a compact space. A cellular automaton (CA) is a continuous transformation F:A^L--> A^L that commutes with all shift maps. A quasisturmian (QS) subshift is a shift-invariant subset obtained by…

While there has been a keen interest in studying computation at the edge of chaos for dynamical systems undergoing a phase transition, this has come under question for cellular automata. We show that for continuously deformed cellular…
The cellular automata (CA) approach to traffic modeling is extended to allow for spatially homogeneous steady state solutions that cover a two dimensional region in the flow-density plane. Hence these models fulfill a basic postulate of a…
In this paper we study the family of freezing cellular automata (FCA) in the context of asynchronous updating schemes. A cellular automaton is called freezing if there exists an order of its states, and the transitions are only allowed to…
Let A^Z be the Cantor space of bi-infinite sequences in a finite alphabet A, and let sigma be the shift map on A^Z. A `cellular automaton' is a continuous, sigma-commuting self-map Phi of A^Z, and a `Phi-invariant subshift' is a closed,…
We provide algebraic criteria for the unitarity of linear quantum cellular automata, i.e. one dimensional quantum cellular automata. We derive these both by direct combinatorial arguments, and by adding constraints into the model which do…
