We say that a Cellular Automata (CA) is coalescing when its execution on two distinct (random) initial configurations in the same asynchronous mode (the same cells are updated in each configuration at each time step) makes both…
Two-dimensional nine neighbor hood rectangular Cellular Automata rules can be modeled using many different techniques like Rule matrices, State Transition Diagrams, Boolean functions, Algebraic Normal Form etc. In this paper, a new model is…
In this paper, we construct a weakly universal cellular automaton with two states only on the tiling {11,3}. The cellular automaton is rotation invariant and it is a true planar one.
A cellular automaton in which cells represent agents playing the Prisoner's Dilemma (PD) game following the simple "win-stay, loose-shift" strategy is studied. Individuals with binary behavior, such as they can either cooperate (C) or…

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 spatial structure, fluctuations as well as all state probabilities of self-organized (steady) states of cellular automata can be found (almost) exactly and {\em explicitly} from their Markovian dynamics. The method is shown on an…
A one-dimensional two-state number-conserving cellular automaton (NCCA) is a cellular automaton whose states are 0 or 1 and where cells take states 0 and 1 and updated their states by the rule which keeps overall sum of states constant. It…

Cellular automata can show well known features of quantum mechanics, such as a linear rule according to which they evolve and which resembles a discretized version of the Schroedinger equation. This includes corresponding conservation laws.…
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 cellular automata with randomly selected rules. Our setting are two-neighbor rules with a large number $n$ of states. The main quantity we analyze is the asymptotic probability, as $n \to \infty$, that the random rule has a…
We propose the characterization of binary cellular automata using a set of behavioral metrics that are applied to the minimal Boolean form of a cellular automaton's transition function. These behavioral metrics are formulated to satisfy…
We explore some aspects of phase transitions in cellular automata. We start recalling the standard formulation of statistical mechanics of discrete systems (Ising model), illustrating the Monte Carlo approach as Markov chains and stochastic…
This paper shows how to determine all the unidimensional two-state cellular automaton rules of a given number of inputs which conserve the number of active sites. These rules have to satisfy a necessary and sufficient condition. If the…
We consider two relatively natural topologizations of the set of all cellular automata on a fixed alphabet. The first turns out to be rather pathological, in that the countable space becomes neither first-countable nor sequential. Also,…
We rigorously prove a form of disorder-resistance for a class of one-dimensional cellular automaton rules, including some that arise as boundary dynamics of two-dimensional solidification rules. Specifically, when started from a random…
Cellular automata are a famous model of computation, yet it is still a challenging task to assess the computational capacity of a given automaton; especially when it comes to showing negative results. In this paper, we focus on studying…
