Number-conserving cellular automata (NCCA) are particularly interesting, both because of their natural appearance as models of real systems, and because of the strong restrictions that number-conservation implies. Here we extend the…

Cellular automata (CAs) are dynamical systems which exhibit complex global behavior from simple local interaction and computation. Since the inception of cellular automaton (CA) by von Neumann in 1950s, it has attracted the attention of…

We consider a class of noisy, one-dimensional quantum cellular automata that allow one to shift from unitary dynamics to completely positive maps, and investigate the notion of reversibility in such a setting. To this aim, we associate an…

Reversibility of a one-dimensional finite cellular automaton (CA) is dependent on lattice size. A finite CA can be reversible for a set of lattice sizes. On the other hand, reversibility of an infinite CA, which is decided by exploring the…

Let $G$ be a group and $A$ a set. A cellular automaton (CA) $\tau$ over $A^G$ is von Neumann regular (vN-regular) if there exists a CA $\sigma$ over $A^G$ such that $\tau \sigma\tau = \tau$, and in such case, $\sigma$ is called a…
