There exists algorithms to detect reversibility of cellular automaton (CA) for both finite and infinite lattices taking quadratic time. But, can we identify a $d$-state CA rule in constant time that is always reversible for every lattice…

We extend the theory of Cellular Automata to arbitrary, time-varying graphs. In other words we formalize, and prove theorems about, the intuitive idea of a labelled graph which evolves in time - but under the natural constraint that…

A novel, information-based classification of elementary cellular automata is proposed that circumvents the problems associated with isolating whether complexity is in fact intrinsic to a dynamical rule, or if it arises merely as a product…

Several cellular automata (CA) models have been developed to simulate self-organization of multiple levels of structures. However, they do not obey microscopic reversibility and conservation laws. In this paper, we describe the construction…

The properties of two-state nearest-neighbour cellular automata (CA) that are capable of density classification are discussed. It is shown that these CA actually conserve the total density, rather than merely classifying it. This is also…
