We investigate dynamics of the cellular automaton rule 142. This rule possesses additive invariant of the second order, namely it conserves the number of blocks 10. Rule 142 can be alternatively described as an operation on a binary string…
We consider the problems of characterizing and testing the stability of cellular automata configurations that evolve on a two-dimensional torus according to threshold rules with respect to the von-Neumann neighborhood. While stable…

Fungal automata are a variation of the two-dimensional sandpile automaton of Bak, Tang, and Wiesenfeld (Phys. Rev. Lett. 1987). In each step toppling cells emit grains only to some of their neighbors chosen according to a specific update…

Cellular automata, CA for short are continuous maps defined on the set of configurations over a finite alphabet A that commutes with the shift. They are characterized by the existence of local function which determine by local behavior the…

Our concern is the behaviour of the elementary cellular automata with state set 0,1 over the cell set Z/nZ (one-dimensional finite wrap-around case), under all possible update rules (asynchronicity). Over the torus Z/nZ (n<= 11),we will see…
We consider threshold secret sharing schemes based on cellular automata (CA) that allows for anonymous reconstruction, meaning that the secret can be recovered only as a function of the shares, without knowing the participants' identities.…
In this paper, we study a class of cellular automata (CA) called stable cellular automata (SCA) that preserve stability by reflection, modulo-recurrent, and richness. After applying these automata to Sturmian words, we determine some of…
A number-conserving cellular automaton is a cellular automaton whose states are integers and whose transition function keeps the sum of all cells constant throughout its evolution. It can be seen as a kind of modelization of the physical…
In this paper we provide an analytical study of the theory of multi-valued and fuzzy cellular automata where the fuzziness appears as the result of the application of an underlying multi-valued or continuous logic as opposed to standard…
We are interested in topological and ergodic properties of one dimensional cellular automata. We show that an ergodic cellular automaton cannot have irrational eigenvalues. We show that any cellular automaton with an equicontinuous factor…
The algebraic degree is an important parameter of Boolean functions used in cryptography. When a function in a large number of variables is not given explicitly in algebraic normal form, it might not be feasible to compute its degree.…
We propose a new cellular automaton (CA), the Sweep Rule, which generalizes Toom's rule to any locally Euclidean lattice. We use the Sweep Rule to design a local decoder for the toric code in $d\geq 3$ dimensions, the Sweep Decoder, and…
The minimal number of inputs in the local function of a non-trivial cellular automaton is two. Such a function can be viewed as as a kind of binary operation. If this operation is associative, it forms, together with the set of states, a…
The cellular automata with local permutation invariance are considered. We show that in the two-state case the set of such automata coincides with the generalized Game of Life family. We count the number of equivalence classes of the rules…
