Embedding odometers in cellular automata

Dynamical Systems 2009-08-05 v1

Abstract

We consider the problem of embedding odometers in one-dimensional cellular automata. We show that (1) every odometer can be be embedded in a gliders with reflecting walls cellular automaton, which one depending on the odometer, and (2) an odometer can be embedded in a cellular automaton, which is a group endomorphism on an n-letter group, and where n depends on the odometer, if and only if the odometer is "finitary."
