While there has been a keen interest in studying computation at the edge of chaos for dynamical systems undergoing a phase transition, this has come under question for cellular automata. We show that for continuously deformed cellular…
We study the computational complexity of various problems related to synchronization of weakly acyclic automata, a subclass of widely studied aperiodic automata. We provide upper and lower bounds on the length of a shortest word…
The positive rates conjecture states that a one-dimensional probabilistic cellular automaton (PCA) with strictly positive transition rates must be ergodic. The conjecture has been refuted by G\'acs, whose counterexample is a cellular…
Stable chaos is a generalization of the chaotic behaviour exhibited by cellular automata to continuous-variable systems and it owes its name to an underlying irregular and yet linearly stable dynamics. In this review we discuss analogies…
We present results from an experiment similar to one performed by Packard (1988), in which a genetic algorithm is used to evolve cellular automata (CA) to perform a particular computational task. Packard examined the frequency of evolved CA…
Let A^Z be the Cantor space of bi-infinite sequences in a finite alphabet A, and let sigma be the shift map on A^Z. A `cellular automaton' is a continuous, sigma-commuting self-map Phi of A^Z, and a `Phi-invariant subshift' is a closed,…
Cellular automata (CAs) and convolutional neural networks (CNNs) are closely related due to the local nature of information processing. The connection between these topics is beneficial to both related fields, for conceptual as well as…

Fuzzy cellular automaton is a dynamical system with a continuous state value embedding a cellular automaton with a discrete state value. We investigate a fuzzy cellular automaton obtained from an elementary cellular automaton of rule number…
Number-conserving cellular automata are discrete dynamical systems that simulate interacting particles like e.g. grains of sand. In an earlier paper, I had already derived a uniform construction for all transition rules of one-dimensional…
An "odd-rule" cellular automaton (CA) is defined by specifying a neighborhood for each cell, with the rule that a cell turns ON if it is in the neighborhood of an odd number of ON cells at the previous generation, and otherwise turns OFF.…
The cellular automaton (CA) pulsing model (arXiv:1806.06416) described the surprising phenomenon of spontaneous, sustained and robust rhythmic oscillations, pulsing dynamics, when random wiring is applied to a 2D `glider' rule running in a…
We study self-similarity in one-dimensional probabilistic cellular automata (PCA) using the renormalization technique. We introduce a general framework for algebraic construction of renormalization groups (RG) on cellular automata and apply…
We investigate dynamical many-body systems capable of universal computation, which leads to their properties being unpredictable unless the dynamics is simulated from the beginning to the end. Unpredictable behavior can be quantitatively…
This paper designs an efficient two-class pattern classifier utilizing asynchronous cellular automata (ACAs). The two-state three-neighborhood one-dimensional ACAs that converge to fixed points from arbitrary seeds are used here for pattern…
Building self-adaptive and self-organizing (SASO) systems is a challenging problem, in part because SASO principles are not yet well understood and few platforms exist for exploring them. Cellular automata (CA) are a well-studied approach…
