It is shown that for the N-neighbor and K-state cellular automata, the class II, class III and class IV patterns coexist at least in the range $\frac{1}{K} \le \lambda \le 1-\frac{1}{K} $. The mechanism which determines the difference…
A coarse-grained cellular automaton is proposed to simulate traffic systems. There, cells represent road sections. A cell can be in two states: jammed or passable. Numerical calculations are performed for a piece of square lattice with open…
Cellular automata have been useful artificial models for exploring how relatively simple rules combined with spatial memory can give rise to complex emergent patterns. Moreover, studying the dynamics of how rules emerge under artificial…
This paper presents a classification of Cellular Automata rules based on its properties at the nth iteration. Elaborate computer program has been designed to get the nth iteration for arbitrary 1-D or 2-D CA rules. Studies indicate that the…
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…
A simple mathematical expression for the universal map for cellular automata is found in closed form with the help of a digit function, whose most basic properties are established. This result is found after proving a theorem on the…
We show that cellular automata can classify data by inducing a form of dynamical phase coexistence. We use Monte Carlo methods to search for general two-dimensional deterministic automata that classify images on the basis of activity, the…
This paper introduces a simple formalism for dealing with deterministic, non- deterministic and stochastic cellular automata in an unified and composable manner. This formalism allows for local probabilistic correlations, a feature which is…
The directed percolation (DP) hypothesis for stochastic, range-4 cellular automata with acceptance rule $y \le\sum_{j=-4}^4 s_{i-j} \le 6$, in cases of $y < 6$ was investigated in one and two dimensions. Simulations, mean-field…
Topological dynamics of cellular automata (CA), inherited from classical dynamical systems theory, has been essentially studied in dimension 1. This paper focuses on 2D CA and aims at showing that the situation is different and more…
A general family of $D$-dimensional, $K$-state cellular automata is proposed where the update rule is sequentially applied in each dimension. This includes the Biham--Middleton--Levine traffic model, which is a 2D cellular automaton with 3…
We define and study a few properties of a class of random automata networks. While regular finite one-dimensional cellular automata are defined on periodic lattices, these automata networks, called randomized cellular automata, are defined…
We extend a previously introduced semi-analytical representation of a decomposition of CA dynamics in arbitrary dimensions and neighborhood schemes via the use of certain universal maps in which CA rule vectors are derivable from the…
This note is a survey of examples and results about cellular automata with the purpose of recalling that there is no 'universal' way of being computationally universal. In particular, we show how some cellular automata can embed efficient…
Cellular automata are investigated towards their ability to compute transductions, that is, to transform inputs into outputs. The families of transductions computed are classified with regard to the time allowed to process the input and to…
We propose a characteristic representation ofone-dimensional and 2-state, 3-neighbor cellular automaton rules, which describes an effective form of each rule after many time steps. Simulated results of the representation show that complex…
Methods developed in a previous paper are employed to define an exact correspondence between the states of a deterministic cellular automaton in 1+1 dimensions and those of a bosonic quantum field theory. The result may be used to argue…
We give a necessary and sufficient condition for the existence of an increasing coupling of $N$ ($N \geq 2$) synchronous dynamics on $S^{\mathbb Z^d}$(PCA). Increasing means the coupling preserves stochastic ordering. We first present our…
In this paper, we look at the possibility to implement the algorithm to construct a discrete line devised by the first author in cellular automata. It turns out that such an implementation is feasible.
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…
