Given a periodic placement of copies of a tromino (either L or I), we prove co-RE-completeness (and hence undecidability) of deciding whether it can be completed to a plane tiling. By contrast, the problem becomes decidable if the initial…

Column-convex polyominoes are by now a well-explored model. So far, however, no attention has been given to polyominoes whose columns can have either one or two connected components. This little known kind of polyominoes seems not to be…

While the surjectivity of the global map in two-dimensional cellular automata (2D CA) is undecidable in general, in specific cases one can often decide if the rule is surjective or not. We attempt to classify as many 2D CA as possible by…

Cellular automata are often used to model systems in physics, social sciences, biology that are inherently asynchronous. Over the past 20 years, studies have demonstrated that the behavior of cellular automata drastically changed under…

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…

A regular language L is said to be cellular if there exists a 1-dimensional cellular automaton CA such that L is the language consisting of the finite blocks associated with CA. It is shown that cellularity of a regular language is…

Cellular automata are a discrete dynamical system which models massively parallel computation. Much attention is devoted to computations with small time complexity for which the parallelism may provide further possibilities. In this paper,…

Suppose $P$ is a symmetric convex polygon in the plane. We give a polynomial time algorithm that decides if $P$ can tile the plane by transations at some level (not necessarily at level one; this is multiple tiling). The main technical…

LS is a particular type of computational processes simulating living tissue. They use an unlimited branching process arising from the simultaneous substitutions of some words instead of letters in some initial word. This combines the…

A plane tiling consisting of congruent copies of a shape is isohedral provided that for any pair of copies, there exists a symmetry of the tiling mapping one copy to the other. We give a $O(n\log^2{n})$-time algorithm for deciding if a…

A Cellular Automata (CA) rule is presented that can generate "loop patterns" in a 2D grid under fixed boundary conditions. A loop is a cyclically closed path represented by one-cells enclosed by zero-cells. A loop pattern can contain…

Nonlinear cellular automata are extensively used in simulations, image processing, cryptography, and so on. The determination of their fundamental properties, injectivity and surjectivity, related to information loss during the evolution,…

Layered Cellular Automata (LCA) extends the concept of traditional cellular automata (CA) to model complex systems and phenomena. In LCA, each cell's next state is determined by the interaction of two layers of computation, allowing for…

Number-conserving (or {\em conservative}) cellular automata have been used in several contexts, in particular traffic models, where it is natural to think about them as systems of interacting particles. In this article we consider several…

Parallel algorithms for solving any image processing task is a highly demanded approach in the modern world. Cellular Automata (CA) are the most common and simple models of parallel computation. So, CA has been successfully used in the…

We study the tiling of a two-dimensional region of the plane by $K$-cell one-dimensional tiles, or $K$-mers. Unlike previous studies, which typically allowed for one single value of $K$ or sometimes a small assortment of fixed values, here…

The objective is to find a Cellular Automata rule that can form a 2D point pattern with a maximum number of points (1-cells). Points are not allowed to touch each other, they have to be separated by 0-cells, and every 0-cell can find at…

This paper deals with the theory and application of 2-Dimensional, nine-neighborhood, null- boundary, uniform as well as hybrid Cellular Automata (2D CA) linear rules in image processing. These rules are classified into nine groups…

We investigate the correspondence between the time and space recognition complexity of languages. For this purpose, we will code the long-continued computations of deterministic two-tape Turing machines by the relatively short-length…

Both cellular automata (CA) and lattice-gas automata (LG) provide finite algorithmic presentations for certain classes of infinite dynamical systems studied by symbolic dynamics; it is customary to use the term `cellular automaton' or…
