We give a one-dimensional quantum cellular automaton (QCA) capable of simulating all others. By this we mean that the initial configuration and the local transition rule of any one-dimensional QCA can be encoded within the initial…
This paper deals with the CREP (Configuration REachability Problem) for non-uniform cellular automata (CAs). The cells of non-uniform CAs, we have considered here, can use different Wolfram's rules to generate their next states. We report…
We study the adaptive control of an unknown linear system with a quadratic cost function subject to safety constraints on both the states and actions. The challenges of this problem arise from the tension among safety, exploration,…

An equidistribution is a theoretical quality criteria that measures the uniformity of a linear pseudo-random number generator (PRNG). In this work, we first show that all existing linear cellular automaton (CA) based pseudo-random number…
We consider the parity problem in one-dimensional, binary, circular cellular automata: if the initial configuration contains an odd number of 1s, the lattice should converge to all 1s; otherwise, it should converge to all 0s. It is easy to…
This paper investigates the decidability of opacity in timed automata (TA), a property that has been proven to be undecidable in general. First, we address a theoretical gap in recent work by J. An et al. (FM 2024) by providing necessary…

In recent work, robust Principal Components Analysis (PCA) has been posed as a problem of recovering a low-rank matrix $\mathbf{L}$ and a sparse matrix $\mathbf{S}$ from their sum, $\mathbf{M}:= \mathbf{L} + \mathbf{S}$ and a provably exact…

Number-conserving (or {\em conservative}) cellular automata have been used in several contexts, in particular traffic models, where it is natural to think about them as systems of interacting particles. In this article we consider several…
In this paper, we propose a procedure that given an integer reset timed automaton (IRTA) ${\cal A}$, produces a language equivalent deterministic one clock IRTA ${\cal B}$ whose size is at most doubly exponential in the size of ${\cal A}$.…

We study the fixed points of outer-totalistic cellular automata on sparse random regular graphs. These can be seen as constraint satisfaction problems, where each variable must adhere to the same local constraint, which depends solely on…
We consider the model-checking problem for freeze LTL on one-counter automata (OCA). Freeze LTL extends LTL with the freeze quantifier, which allows one to store different counter values of a run in registers so that they can be compared…
Exactly ergodicity in boundary-driven semi-infinite cellular automata (CA) are investigated. We establish all the ergodic rules in CA with 3, 4, and 5 states. We analytically prove the ergodicity for 12 rules in 3-state CA and 118320 rules…
