Cellular automata (CA) have long attracted attention as dynamical systems with local updating rules and yet can exhibit, for certain rules, complex, long space and time correlated patterns. This contrast with other rules which results in…

We introduce an action principle for a class of integer valued cellular automata and obtain Hamiltonian equations of motion. Employing sampling theory, these discrete deterministic equations are invertibly mapped on continuum equations for…

We study the classification of cellular-automaton update rules into Wolfram's four classes. We start with the notion of the input entropy of a spatiotemporal block in the evolution of a cellular automaton, and build on it by introducing two…

Extending to all probability measures the notion of m-equicontinuous cellular automata introduced for Bernoulli measures by Gilman, we show that the entropy is null if m is an invariant measure and that the sequence of image measures of a…

In [6], a constraint on invariant measures of bi-permutative cellular automata has been observed: fixed values at the positive indices determine almost-surely a uniform conditional probability on the subset of values of positive conditional…

We will consider a family of cellular automata $\Phi: \{1,2,...,r\}^\mathbb{N}\circlearrowright$ that are not of algebraic type. Our first goal is to determine conditions that result in the identification of probabilities that are at the…

We show that any direction in the plane occurs as the unique non-expansive direction of a \mathbb{Z}^{2} action, answering a question of Boyle and Lind. In the case of rational directions, the subaction obtained is non-trivial. We also…

If A=Z/2, then A^Z is a compact abelian group. A `linear cellular automaton' is a shift-commuting endomorphism F of A^Z. If P is a probability measure on A^Z, then F `asymptotically randomizes' P if F^j P converges to the Haar measure as…

Elementary Cellular Automata (ECAs) exhibit diverse behaviours often categorized by Wolfram's qualitative classification. To provide a quantitative basis for understanding these behaviours, we investigate the global dynamics of such…

In this paper we consider invertible one-dimensional linear cellular automata (CA hereafter) defined on a finite alphabet of cardinality $p^k$, i.e. the maps $T_{f[l,r]}:\mathbb{Z}^{\mathbb{Z}}_{p^k}\to\mathbb{Z}^{\mathbb{Z}}_{p^k}$ which…

We use analytical methods to investigate cellular automata for traffic flow. Two different mean-field approaches are presented, which we call site-oriented and car-oriented, respectively. The car-oriented mean-field theory yields the exact…

A classical approach for the analysis of the longtime behavior of Markov processes is to consider suitable Lyapunov functionals like the variance or more generally $\Phi$-entropies. Via purely analytic arguments it can be shown that these…
