We have determined families of two-dimensional deterministic totalistic cellular automaton rules whose stationary density of active sites exhibits a period two in time. Each family of deterministic rules is characterized by an ``average…
Living organisms survive and multiply even though they have uncertain and incomplete information about their environment and imperfect models to predict the consequences of their actions. Bayesian models have been proposed to face this…
This paper studies directional dynamics in cellular automata, a formalism previously introduced by the third author. The central idea is to study the dynamical behaviour of a cellular automaton through the conjoint action of its global rule…
The cellular automata discrete dynamical system is considered as the two-stage process: the majority rule for the change in the automata state and the rule for the change in topological relations between automata. The influence of changing…
We study charge fluctuations of a family of stochastic charged cellular automata away from the deterministic single-file limit and obtain the exact typical charge probability distributions, known to be anomalous, using hydrodynamics. The…
The probability distribution P from which the history of our universe is sampled represents a theory of everything or TOE. We assume P is formally describable. Since most (uncountably many) distributions are not, this imposes a strong…
In this paper we study monotone cellular automata in $d$ dimensions. We develop a general method for bounding the growth of the infected set when the initial configuration is chosen randomly, and then use this method to prove a lower bound…
In this paper we introduce a new quantum computation model, the linear quantum cellular automaton. Well-formedness is an essential property for any quantum computing device since it enables us to define the probability of a configuration in…
In this paper, we investigate some ergodic properties of $Z^{2}$-actions $T_{p,n}$ generated by an additive cellular automata and shift acting on the space of all doubly -infinitive sequences taking values in $Z_{m}$.
Consider a graph $G=(V,E)$ and a random initial vertex-coloring, where each vertex is blue independently with probability $p_{b}$, and red with probability $p_r=1-p_b$. In each step, all vertices change their current color synchronously to…
Neural networks are becoming a popular tool for solving many real-world problems such as object recognition and machine translation, thanks to its exceptional performance as an end-to-end solution. However, neural networks are complex…
We study two-player \emph{take-away} games whose outcomes emulate two-state one-dimensional cellular automata, such as Wolfram's rules 60 and 110. Given an initial string consisting of a central data pattern and periodic left and right…
We study the classification of cellular-automaton update rules into Wolfram's four classes. We start with the notion of the input entropy of a spatiotemporal block in the evolution of a cellular automaton, and build on it by introducing two…
This paper considers interactions between cellular automata and cryptology. It is known that non-linear elementary rule which is correlation-immune don't exist. This results limits the use of cellular automata as pseudo-random generators…
We study monotone cellular automata (also known as $\mathcal{U}$-bootstrap percolation) in $\mathbb{Z}^d$ with random initial configurations. Confirming a conjecture of Balister, Bollob\'as, Przykucki and Smith, who proved the corresponding…
This paper studies three classes of cellular automata from a computational point of view: freezing cellular automata where the state of a cell can only decrease according to some order on states, cellular automata where each cell only makes…
This note is a survey of examples and results about cellular automata with the purpose of recalling that there is no 'universal' way of being computationally universal. In particular, we show how some cellular automata can embed efficient…
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…
A random boolean cellular automaton is a network of boolean gates where the inputs, the boolean function, and the initial state of each gate are chosen randomly. In this article, each gate has two inputs. Let $a$ (respectively $c$) be the…
This paper studies standard controller architectures for agentic AI and derives automata-theoretic models of their interaction behavior via trace semantics and abstraction. We model an agent implementation as a finite control program…
