In this paper we study updating effects on cellular automata rule space. We consider a subset of 6144 order-3 automata from the space of 262144 bi-dimensional outer-totalistic rules. We compare synchronous to asynchronous and sequential…
We consider the range of possible dynamics of cellular automata (CA) on two-sided beta-shifts $S_\beta$. We show that any reversible CA $F:S_\beta\to S_\beta$ has an almost equicontinuous direction whenever $S_\beta$ is not sofic. This has…
Periodicity and relaxation are investigated for the trajectories of the states in one-dimensional finite cellular automata with rule-90 and 150. The time evolutions are described with matrices. Eigenvalue analysis is applied to clarify the…
The $\mu$-limit set of a cellular automaton is a subshift whose forbidden patterns are exactly those, whose probabilities tend to zero as time tends to in- finity. In this article, for a given subshift in a large class of subshifts, we…
The Besicovitch pseudo-metric is a shift-invariant pseudo-metric on the set of infinite sequences, that enjoys interesting properties and is suitable for studying the dynamics of cellular automata. They correspond to the asymptotic behavior…
Infinite words, also known as streams, hold significant interest in computer science and mathematics, raising the natural question of how their complexity should be measured. We introduce cellular automaton reducibility as a measure of…
We prove that the group of reversible cellular automata (RCA), on any alphabet $A$, contains a subgroup generated by three involutions which contains an isomorphic copy of every finitely generated group of RCA on any alphabet $B$. This…

It is shown that irreversible classical cellular automata can be performed by quantum algorithm using additional ancilla registers. The algorithm for cellular automata states analysis has been proposed. This algorithm is based on the…
If a cellular automaton (CA) is started with a single ON cell, how many cells will be ON after n generations? For certain "odd-rule" CAs, including Rule 150, Rule 614, and Fredkin's Replicator, the answer can be found by using the…
Group cellular automata are continuous, shift-commuting endomorphisms of $G^\mathbb{Z}$, where $G$ is a finite group. We provide an easy-to-check characterization of expansivity for group cellular automata on abelian groups and we prove…
We study the class of asynchronous non-uniform cellular automata (ANUCA) over an arbitrary group universe with multiple local transition rules. We introduce the notion of stable injectivity, stable reversibility, stable post-surjectivity…
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…
Microbiological systems evolve to fulfill their tasks with maximal efficiency. The immune system is a remarkable example, where self-non self distinction is accomplished by means of molecular interaction between self proteins and antigens,…
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…
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…
If X is a discrete abelian group and B a finite set, then a cellular automaton (CA) is a continuous map F:B^X-->B^X that commutes with all X-shifts. If g is a real-valued function on B, then, for any b in B^X, we define G(b) to be the sum…
This study focuses on an extended model of a standard cellular automaton (CA) that includes an extra index consisting of a radius that defines a perception area for each cell in addition to the radius defined by the CA rule. Extended…
For an arbitrary group $G$ and arbitrary set $A$, we define a monoid structure on the set of all uniformly continuous functions $A^G\to A$ and then we show that it is naturally isomorphic to the monoid of cellular automata $\mathrm{CA}(G,…
There exists an index theory to classify strictly local quantum cellular automata in one dimension. We consider two classification questions. First, we study to what extent this index theory can be applied in higher dimensions via…
