In a roughening process, the growth exponent $\beta$ describes how the roughness $w$ grows with the time $t$: $w\sim t^{\beta}$. We determine the exponent $\beta$ of a growth process generated by the spatiotemporal patterns of the one…

This paper considers a class of probabilistic cellular automata undergoing a phase transition with an absorbing state. Denoting by ${\mathcal{U}}(x)$ the neighbourhood of site $x$, the transition probability is $T(\eta_x = 1 |…

The phase diagram of the coupled sine circle map lattice shows spatio-temporal intermittency of two distinct types: spatio-temporal intermittency of the directed percolation (DP) class, and spatial intermittency which does not belong to…
We discuss the self-deprecating strategy introduced by Peter Blau as one of stages of the process of social integration. Recently we have introduced a two-dimensional space of status, real and surface one ($A$ and $B$), and we have…
We discuss various properties of Probabilistic Cellular Automata, such as the structure of the set of stationary measures and multiplicity of stationary measures (or phase transition) for reversible models.
We consider the so-called field-road diffusion model in a bounded domain, consisting of two parabolic PDEs posed on sets of different dimensions (a {\it field} and a {\it road} in a population dynamics context) and coupled through exchange…
We develop a two-dimensional cellular automaton (CA) as a simple model for agents moving from origins to destinations. Each agent moves towards an empty neighbor site corresponding to the minimal distance to its destination. The…
Quantum cellular automata (QCAs) are automorphisms of tensor product algebras that preserve locality, with local quantum circuits as a simple example. We study approximate QCAs, where the locality condition is only satisfied up to a small…
We study the vacuum partition functional Z [J] for a system of closed, bosonic p-branes coupled to p-forms in the limiting case: p+1 = space-time dimension. We suggest an extension of the duality transformation which can be applied to the…
General properties of the effective conductivity sigma_e of planar isotropic randomly inhomogeneous two-phase self-dual systems are investigated. A new approach for finding out sigma_e of random systems based on a duality, a series…
We study the phase diagram and the critical behavior of a one-dimensional radius-1 two-state totalistic probabilistic cellular automaton having two absorbing states. This system exhibits a first-order phase transition between the fully…
Let us consider the simplest model of one-dimensional probabilistic cellular automata (PCA). The cells are indexed by the integers, the alphabet is {0, 1}, and all the cells evolve synchronously. The new content of a cell is randomly…
In this paper we study the dynamics of 1- and 2- dimensional cellular automata, using a 2-adic representation of the states, we give a simple graphical technique for finding periodic solutions. We also study the continuity properties of the…
We consider self-duality in a 2+1 dimensional gauge theory containing both the Born-Infeld and the Chern-Simons terms. We introduce a Born-Infeld inspired generalization of the Proca term and show that the corresponding self dual equation…
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…
We consider the typical asymptotic behaviour of cellular automata of higher dimension (greater than 2). That is, we take an initial configuration at random according to a Bernoulli (i.i.d) probability measure, iterate some cellular…
Several recent exact diagonalization calculations have established that the Anderson-Hubbard model has a disorder-induced zero bias anomaly (ZBA) (also called a disorder-induced pseudogap) in the density of states. In order to understand…
