We discuss the role of classical control in the context of reversible quantum cellular automata. Employing the structure theorem for quantum cellular automata, we give a general construction scheme to turn an arbitrary cellular automaton…
In this paper, following the way opened by a previous paper deposited on arXiv, we give an upper bound to the number of states for a hyperbolic cellular automaton in the pentagrid. Indeed, we prove that there is a hyperbolic cellular…
In this paper, we prove that there is a strongly universal cellular automaton on the pentagrid with six states. For each cell c, Moore neighbourhood consists of the cells which share a vertex with c. Moreover, the rules are rotation…
We construct a one-dimensional uniquely ergodic cellular automaton which is not nilpotent. This automaton can perform asymptotically infinitely sparse computation, which nevertheless never disappears completely. The construction builds on…
In a recent paper [arXiv:1506.06649 [nlin.CG]], we presented an example of a 3-state cellular automaton which exhibits behaviour analogous to degenerate hyperbolicity often observed in finite-dimensional dynamical systems. We also…
We study two-dimensional rotation-symmetric number-conserving cellular automata working on the von Neumann neighborhood (RNCA). It is known that such automata with 4 states or less are trivial, so we investigate the possible rules with 5…
We study qualitative properties of two-dimensional freezing cellular automata with a binary state set initialized on a random configuration. If the automaton is also monotone, the setting is equivalent to bootstrap percolation. We explore…
Larger than Life cellular automaton (LtL) is a class of cellular automata and is a generalization of the game of Life by extending its neighborhood radius. We have studied the three-dimensional extension of LtL. In this paper, we show a…
This note is a survey of examples and results about cellular automata with the purpose of recalling that there is no 'universal' way of being computationally universal. In particular, we show how some cellular automata can embed efficient…
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.
Signals are a classical tool used in cellular automata constructions that proved to be useful for language recognition or firing-squad synchronisation. Particles and collisions formalize this idea one step further, describing regular nets…
Any algorithm (in the sense of Gurevich's abstract-state-machine axiomatization of classical algorithms) operating over any arbitrary unordered domain can be simulated by a dynamic cellular automaton, that is, by a pattern-directed cellular…
We study the problem of sequentializing a cellular automaton without introducing any intermediate states, and only performing reversible permutations on the tape. We give a decidable characterization of cellular automata which can be…
A minimalistic model for chimera states is presented. The model is a cellular automaton (CA) which depends on only one adjustable parameter, the range of the nonlocal coupling, and is built from elementary cellular automata and the majority…
We analytically diagonalize a discrete-time on-site interacting fermionic cellular automaton in the two-particle sector. Important features of the solutions sensibly differ from those of analogous Hamiltonian models. In particular, we found…
Hochman asked whether there exists a cellular automaton $F$ such that every cellular automaton is a factor of $F$ in the dynamical sense. In particular, we do not require the factor map to commute with the spatial shifts. We show that no…
In this paper we study the statistical properties of a reversible cellular automaton in two out-of-equilibrium settings. In the first part we consider two instances of the initial value problem, corresponding to the inhomogeneous quench and…
The cellular automaton is a widely known model of both reversible and irreversible computations. The family of reversible second-order cellular automata considered in this work is appropriate both for construction of logic gates and…
The minimal number of inputs in the local function of a non-trivial cellular automaton is two. Such a function can be viewed as as a kind of binary operation. If this operation is associative, it forms, together with the set of states, a…
In this paper we investigate certain properties of semi-totalistic cellular automata (CA) on the well known quasi-periodic kite and dart two dimensional tiling of the plane presented by Roger Penrose. We show that, despite the irregularity…
