We define a class of dynamical maps on the quasi-local algebra of a quantum spin system, which are quantum analogues of probabilistic cellular automata. We develop criteria for such a system to be ergodic, i.e., to possess a unique…

We study limit sets of stable cellular automata standing from a symbolic dynamics point of view where they are a special case of sofic shifts admitting a steady epimorphism. We prove that there exists a right-closing almost-everywhere…

We introduce the entropy rate of multidimensional cellular automata. This number is invariant under shift-commuting isomorphisms; as opposed to the entropy of such CA, it is always finite. The invariance property and the finiteness of the…

The positive rates conjecture states that a one-dimensional probabilistic cellular automaton (PCA) with strictly positive transition rates must be ergodic. The conjecture has been refuted by G\'acs, whose counterexample is a cellular…

In this paper we consider cellular automata $(\mathfrak{G},\Phi)$ with algebraic local rules and such that $\mathfrak{G}$ is a topological Markov chain which has a structure compatible to this local rule. We characterize such cellular…

We consider the range of possible dynamics of cellular automata (CA) on two-sided beta-shifts $S_\beta$. We show that any reversible CA $F:S_\beta\to S_\beta$ has an almost equicontinuous direction whenever $S_\beta$ is not sofic. This has…

We study some dynamical properties of a family of two-dimensional cellular automata: those that arise from an underlying one dimensional sand automaton whose local rule is obtained using a latin square. We identify a simple sand automaton G…

In this article, we pay attention to transitive dynamical systems having the shadowing property and the entropy functions are upper semicontinuous. As for these dynamical systems, when we consider ergodic optimization restricted on the…

We show that an $R^d$-topological dynamical system equipped with an invariant ergodic measure has discrete spectrum if and only it is $\mu$-mean equicontinuous (proven for $Z^d$ before). In order to do this we introduce mean equicontinuity…

Defining the density flow of perturbations moving at a given speed for cellular automata, we establish equalities and inequalities between the measurable entropy of a cellular automaton and the measurable entropy of its associated shift.

Cellular automata are discrete dynamical systems and a model of computation. The limit set of a cellular automaton consists of the configurations having an infinite sequence of preimages. It is well known that these always contain a…
