This paper shows how to determine all the unidimensional two-state cellular automaton rules of a given number of inputs which conserve the number of active sites. These rules have to satisfy a necessary and sufficient condition. If the…
Nonlinear cellular automata are extensively used in simulations, image processing, cryptography, and so on. The determination of their fundamental properties, injectivity and surjectivity, related to information loss during the evolution,…
We study the set of strictly periodic points in surjective cellular automata, i.e., the set of those configurations which are temporally periodic for a given automaton but they not spatially periodic. This set turns out to be dense for…
We explore several concepts for analyzing the intuitive notion of computational irreducibility and we propose a robust formal definition, first in the field of cellular automata and then in the general field of any computable function f…
In this Ansatz we consider theoretical constructions of RNA polymers into automata, a form of computational structure. The basis for transitions in our automata are plausible RNA enzymes that may perform ligation or cleavage. Limited to…
Flexible Time is a new formalism for calculations about one-dimensional cellular automata. It unifies the states of a finite number of cells into a single object, even if they occur at different times. This gives greater flexibility to…
In this paper, we exhibit a strong relation between the sand automata configuration space and the cellular automata configuration space. This relation induces a compact topology for sand automata, and a new context in which sand automata…
This article introduces new tools to study self-organisation in a family of simple cellular automata which contain some particle-like objects with good collision properties (coalescence) in their time evolution. We draw an initial…
While the reversibility of multidimensional cellular automata is undecidable and there exists a criterion for determining if a multidimensional linear cellular automaton is reversible, there are only a few results about the reversibility…
We study discrete dynamical systems through the topological concepts of limit set, which consists of all points that can be reached arbitrarily late, and asymptotic set, which consists of all adhering values of orbits. In particular, we…
Let $G$ be a group and $A$ a set equipped with a collection of finitary operations. We study cellular automata $\tau : A^G \to A^G$ that preserve the operations of $A^G$ induced componentwise from the operations of $A$. We show that $\tau$…
In this paper, we construct a weakly universal cellular automaton on the tessellation $\{9,3\}$ which has two states and which is not rotation invariant but which is truly planar.
Neural Cellular Automata (NCAs) are bio-inspired dynamical systems in which identical cells iteratively apply a learned local update rule to self-organize into complex patterns, exhibiting regeneration, robustness, and spontaneous dynamics.…
A novel two-state, Reversible Cellular Automata (RCA) is described. This three-dimensional RCA is shown to be capable of universal computation. Additionally, evidence is offered that this RCA Is capable of universal construction.
In this paper, we look at the following question. We consider cellular automata in the hyperbolic plane, (see Margenstern, 2000, 2007 and Margenstern, Morita, 2001) and we consider the global function defined on all possible configurations.…
We introduce the entropy rate of multidimensional cellular automata. This number is invariant under shift-commuting isomorphisms; as opposed to the entropy of such CA, it is always finite. The invariance property and the finiteness of the…
Firing Squad Synchronisation on Cellular Automata is the dynamical synchronisation of finitely many cells without any prior knowledge of their range. This can be conceived as a signal with an infinite speed. Most of the proposed…
In this paper, we construct a weakly universal cellular automaton in the heptagrid, the tessellation $\{7,3\}$ which is not rotation invariant but which is truly planar. This result, under these conditions, cannot be improved for the…
We consider the typical asymptotic behaviour of cellular automata of higher dimension (greater than 2). That is, we take an initial configuration at random according to a Bernoulli (i.i.d) probability measure, iterate some cellular…
In this paper, we prove that there is a strongly universal cellular automaton on the heptagrid with seven states which is rotation invariant. This improves a previous paper of the author where the automaton required ten states.
