We establish several extensions of the well-known Garden of Eden theorem for non-uniform cellular automata over the full shifts and over amenable group universes. In particular, our results describe quantitatively the relations between the…
We prove the Garden of Eden theorem for cellular automata with finite set of states and finite neighbourhood on right amenable left homogeneous spaces with finite stabilisers. It states that the global transition function of such an…
We prove a converse to Moore's ``Garden-of-Eden'' theorem: a group G is amenable if and only if all cellular automata living on G that admit mutually erasable patterns also admit gardens of Eden. It had already been conjectured in that…
We prove that on B-free subshifts, with B satisfying the Erd\"os condition, all cellular automata are determined by monotone sliding block codes. In particular, this implies the validity of the Garden of Eden theorem for such systems.
We prove the Moore and the Myhill property for strongly irreducible subshifts over right amenable and finitely right generated left homogeneous spaces with finite stabilisers. Both properties together mean that the global transition…
Let $G$ be an amenable group and let $X$ be an irreducible complete algebraic variety over an algebraically closed field $K$. Let $A$ denote the set of $K$-points of $X$ and let $\tau \colon A^G \to A^G$ be an algebraic cellular automaton…
We prove a converse to Myhill's "Garden-of-Eden" theorem and obtain in this manner a characterization of amenability in terms of cellular automata: "A group $G$ is amenable if and only if every cellular automaton with carrier $G$ that has…
Non-uniform cellular automata (NUCA) are an extension of cellular automata with multiple local rules in different cells. We show that if the distribution of local rules is uniformly recurrent, or recurrent in the one-dimensional case, the…

We introduce and study cellular automata whose cell spaces are left-homogeneous spaces. Examples of left-homogeneous spaces are spheres, Euclidean spaces, as well as hyperbolic spaces acted on by isometries; uniform tilings acted on by…
We start with comparisons of hierarchies in Biology and relate it to Quan- tum Field Theories. Thereby we discover many similarities and translate them into rich mathematical correspondences. The basic connection goes via scale…
This paper presents a novel approach to the description and understanding of two-dimensional binary cellular automata with the Moore neighborhood that preserve the number of active cells. Such dynamical systems are known to successfully…
Suppose $\tau$ is a cellular automaton over an amenable group and a finite alphabet. Celebrated Garden of Eden theorem states, that pre-injectivity of $\tau$ is equivalent to non-existence of Garden of Eden configuration. In this paper we…
In this work, the one-dimensional Cellular Automaton is extended to one that involves two sets of symbols and two global rules. As a main result, the Extended Curtis-Hedlund-Lyndon Theorem is demonstrated. Such constructions can be useful…
We extend the usual definition of cellular automaton on a group in order to deal with a new kind of cellular automata, like cellular automata in the hyperbolic plane and we explore some properties of these cellular automata. This definition…

We develop a rather elaborate computer program to investigate the jointly periodic points of one-dimensional cellular automata. The experimental results and mathematical context lead to questions, conjectures and a contextual theorem.
Research on asynchronous cellular automata has received a great amount of attention these last years and has turned to a thriving field. We survey the recent research that has been carried out on this topic and present a wide state of the…
Three reasonable hypotheses lead to the thesis that physical phenomena can be described and simulated with cellular automata. In this work, we attempt to describe the motion of a particle upon which a constant force is applied, with a…
The basis for most of the ideas mentioned in this paper is the theory of cellular automata. A cellular automata contains a regular grid of cells, with each cell having a pre-defined set of finite states. The initial state is determined at…
