We present a preliminary results of our Galactic Habitable Zone (GHZ) 2D probabilistic cellular automata models. The relevant time-scales (emergence of life, it's diversification and evolution influenced with the global risk function) are…
Probabilistic cellular automata describe the dynamics of classical spin models, which, for sufficiently small temperature $T$, can serve as classical memory capable of storing information even in the presence of nonzero external magnetic…
A Genetic Algorithm (GA) is proposed in which each member of the population can change schemata only with its neighbors according to a rule. The rule methodology and the neighborhood structure employ elements from the Cellular Automata (CA)…

We investigate the conditions under which the mean-field formulation of a probabilistic, totalistic cellular automaton approximates the logistic equation. We show that this goal can be only fulfilled for an infinite-range neighborhood. We…
It is well-known that the spacetime diagrams of some cellular automata have a fractal structure: for instance Pascal's triangle modulo 2 generates a Sierpinski triangle. Explaining the fractal structure of the spacetime diagrams of cellular…
Classical Cellular Automata (CCAs) are a powerful computational framework for modeling global spatio-temporal dynamics with local interactions. While CCAs have been applied across numerous scientific fields, identifying the local rule that…

In this dissertation, we study two of the global properties of 1-dimensional cellular automata (CAs) under periodic boundary condition, namely, reversibility and randomness. To address reversibility of finite CAs, we develop a mathematical…
While for synchronous deterministic cellular automata there is an accepted definition of reversibility, the situation is less clear for asynchronous cellular automata. We first discuss a few possibilities and then investigate what we call…
Cellular automata can show well known features of quantum mechanics, such as a linear updating rule that resembles a discretized form of the Schr\"odinger equation together with its conservation laws. Surprisingly, a whole class of…

Cellular Automata are discrete-time dynamical systems on a spatially extended discrete space which provide paradigmatic examples of nonlinear phenomena. Their stochastic generalizations, i.e., Probabilistic Cellular Automata (PCA), are…
Let M be a monoid (e.g. the lattice Z^D), and A an abelian group. A^M is then a compact abelian group; a linear cellular automaton (LCA) is a continuous endomorphism F:A^M --> A^M that commutes with all shift maps. Let mu be a (possibly…
