We study spontaneous symmetry breaking in a one-dimensional driven two-species stochastic cellular automaton with parallel sublattice update and open boundaries. The dynamics are symmetric with respect to interchange of particles. Starting…

We extend Cellular Automata to time-varying discrete geometries. In other words we formalize, and prove theorems about, the intuitive idea of a discrete manifold which evolves in time, subject to two natural constraints: the evolution does…

A cellular automaton is a deterministic and exactly computable dynamical system which mimics certain fundamental aspects of physical dynamics such as spatial locality and finite entropy. CA systems can be constructed which have additional…

We consider a stationary face-to-face tessellation $X$ of $\mathbb{R}^d$ and introduce several percolation models by colouring some of the faces black in a consistent way. Our main model is cell percolation, where cells are declared black…

We study the damage spreading transition in a generic one-dimensional stochastic cellular automata with two inputs (Domany-Kinzel model) Using an original formalism for the description of the microscopic dynamics of the model, we are able…

Given a finite set of local constraints, we seek a cellular automaton (i.e., a local and uniform algorithm) that self-stabilises on the configurations that satisfy these constraints. More precisely, starting from a finite perturbation of a…

One-dimensional cellular automata are discrete dynamical systems that operate on an infinite lattice of sites and are characterized by the locality and uniformity of their update rule. Permutations of the state set and isometric…

Probabilistic cellular automata are prototypes of non equilibrium critical phenomena. This class of models includes among others the directed percolation problem (Domany Kinzel model) and the dynamical Ising model. The critical properties…

Topological dynamics of cellular automata (CA), inherited from classical dynamical systems theory, has been essentially studied in dimension 1. This paper focuses on 2D CA and aims at showing that the situation is different and more…

We consider discrete-time random perturbations of monotone cellular automata (CA) in two dimensions. Under general conditions, we prove the existence of half-space velocities, and then establish the validity of the Wulff construction for…

A model for 1D traffic flow is developed, which is discrete in space and time. Like the cellular automaton model by Nagel and Schreckenberg [J. Phys. I France 2, 2221 (1992)], it is simple, fast, and can describe stop-and-go traffic. Due to…
