A new class of automata networks is defined. Their evolution rules are determined by a probability measure p on the set of all integers Z and an indicator function I_A on the interval [0,1]. It is shown that any cellular automaton rule can…

The emergence of complex behaviors in cellular automata is an area that has been widely developed in recent years with the intention to generate and analyze automata that produce space-moving patterns or gliders that interact in a periodic…

Cellular automata are dynamical systems defined on lattices and commuting with the Bernoulli shift. In this work, we focus on the spectral properties of D-dimensional cellular automata. We give a characterization of their spectrum from both…
