A simple mechanism for the emergence of complexity in cellular automata out of predictable dynamics is described. This leads to unfold the concept of conditional predictability for systems whose trajectory can only be piecewise known. The…

Every transitive cellular automaton (CA) is sensitive to initial conditions. We study this implication in the more general context of non-uniform cellular automata (NUCA) with finitely many different local update rules assigned to cells. We…

The dynamical behavior of non-uniform cellular automata is compared with the one of classical cellular automata. Several differences and similarities are pointed out by a series of examples. Decidability of basic properties like…

Two cellular automata are strongly conjugate if there exists a shift-commuting conjugacy between them. We prove that the following two sets of pairs $(F,G)$ of one-dimensional one-sided cellular automata over a full shift are recursively…

We summarize a recent study of discrete (integer-valued) Hamiltonian cellular automata (CA) showing that their dynamics can only be consistently defined, if it is linear in the same sense as unitary evolution described by the Schr\"odinger…

We prove that the (language of the) asymptotic set (and the nonwandering set) of a one-dimensional cellular automaton can be $\SIGMA^1_1$-hard. We do not go into much detail, since the constructions are relatively standard.

Substantial efforts have been applied to engineer CA with desired emergent properties, such as supporting gliders. Recent work in continuous CA has generated a wide variety of compelling bioreminiscent patterns, and the expansion of CA…

We consider quantum cellular automata for one-dimensional chains of Fermionic modes and study their implementability as finite depth quantum circuits. Fermionic automata have been classified in terms of an index modulo circuits and the…

This paper is about topological dynamics of cellular automata on finitely generated groups. We tackle the problem of determining for which group sensitivity to initial conditions is equivalent to the absence of equicontinuity points…

We extend a previously introduced semi-analytical representation of a decomposition of CA dynamics in arbitrary dimensions and neighborhood schemes via the use of certain universal maps in which CA rule vectors are derivable from the…

In this paper we initiate the study of cellular automata on racks. A rack $R$ is a set with a self-distributive binary operation. The rack $R$ acts on the set $A^R$ of configurations from $R$ to a set $A$. We define the cellular automaton…

Cellular automata are discrete dynamical systems and a model of computation. The limit set of a cellular automaton consists of the configurations having an infinite sequence of preimages. It is well known that these always contain a…

A class of additive cellular automata (ACA) on a finite group is defined by an index-group $\m g$ and a finite field $\m F_p$ for a prime modulus $p$ \cite{Bul_arch_1}. This paper deals mainly with ACA on infinite commutative groups and…
