The concept of $\mu-$equicontinuity was introduced by Gilman to classify cellular automata. We show that under some conditions the sequence of Cesaro averages of a measure $\mu,$ converge under the actions of a $\mu -$equicontinuous CA. We…

We prove that the value of the critical probability for percolation on an abelian Cayley graph is determined by its local structure. This is a partial positive answer to a conjecture of Schramm: the function pc defined on the set of Cayley…

Cellular automata are a set of computational models in discrete space that have a discrete time evolution defined by neighbourhood rules. They are used to simulate many complex systems in physics and science in general. In this work,…

The model of cellular automata is fascinating because very simple local rules can generate complex global behaviors. The relationship between local and global function is subject of many studies. We tackle this question by using results on…

While one-dimensional cellular automata have been well studied, there are relatively few results about multidimensional cellular automata; the investigation of cellular automata defined on Cayley trees constitutes an intermediate class.…

We study the generic limit sets of one-dimensional cellular automata, which intuitively capture their asymptotic dynamics while discarding transient phenomena. As our main results, we characterize the automata whose generic limit set is a…

A map on finitely many fermionic modes represents a unitary evolution if and only if it preserves canonical anti-commutation relations. We use this condition for the classification of fermionic cellu- lar automata (FCA) on Cayley graphs of…

Cellular automata are synchronous discrete dynamical systems used to describe complex dynamic behaviors. The dynamic is based on local interactions between the components, these are defined by a finite graph with an initial node coloring…

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

Topological transitivity is a fundamental notion in topological dynamics and is widely regarded as a basic indicator of global dynamical complexity. For general cellular automata, topological transitivity is known to be undecidable. By…
