Certain fermionic quantum field theories are equivalent to probabilistic cellular automata, with fermionic occupation numbers associated to bits. We construct an automaton that represents a discrete model of spinor gravity in four…
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…

Two simple Cellular Automata, which mimic the Collatz-Ulam iterated map (3x+1 map), are introduced. These Cellular Automata allow to test efficiently the Collatz conjecture for very large numbers.

Universality in cellular automata theory is a central problem studied and developed from their origins by John von Neumann. In this paper, we present an algorithm where any Turing machine can be converted to one-dimensional cellular…
Number-conserving cellular automata (NCCA) are particularly interesting, both because of their natural appearance as models of real systems, and because of the strong restrictions that number-conservation implies. Here we extend the…

The Collatz, or 3x+1, Conjecture claims that for every positive integer n, there exists some k such that T^k(n)=1, where T is the Collatz map. We present three cellular automata (CA) that transform the global problem of mimicking the…
We use cellular automata model to study the cooperation between cyclists. In the two-lane model, cyclists can change lanes. Even there is someone on the back they will take a cooperative attitude. It means that they will be in a same…

We examine various realistic generalizations of the basic cellular automaton model describing traffic flow along a highway. In particular, we introduce a {\em slow-to-start} rule which simulates a possible delay before a car pulls away from…
Many experiments have been performed that use evolutionary algorithms for learning the topology and connection weights of a neural network that controls a robot or virtual agent. These experiments are not only performed to better understand…
A caveat to many applications of the current Deep Learning approach is the need for large-scale data. One improvement suggested by Kolmogorov Complexity results is to apply the minimum description length principle with computationally…
Cellular automata are a class of computational models based on simple rules and algorithms that can simulate a wide range of complex phenomena. However, when using conventional computers, these 'simple' rules are only encapsulated at the…
Fekete's lemma is a well known combinatorial result on number sequences: we extend it to functions defined on $d$-tuples of integers. As an application of the new variant, we show that nonsurjective $d$-dimensional cellular automata are…
