Let A^Z be the Cantor space of bi-infinite sequences in a finite alphabet A, and let sigma be the shift map on A^Z. A `cellular automaton' is a continuous, sigma-commuting self-map Phi of A^Z, and a `Phi-invariant subshift' is a closed,…
In this paper we initiate the study of cellular automata on racks. A rack $R$ is a set with a self-distributive binary operation. The rack $R$ acts on the set $A^R$ of configurations from $R$ to a set $A$. We define the cellular automaton…
Cellular automata (CA) are a class of computational models that exhibit rich dynamics emerging from the local interaction of cells arranged in a regular lattice. In this work we focus on a generalised version of typical CA, called graph…
Describing complex phenomena by means of cellular automata (CA) has shown to be a very effective approach in pure and applied sciences. In fact, the number of published papers concerning this topic has tremendously increased over the last…
We investigate critical properties of a class of number-conserving cellular automata (CA) which can be interpreted as deterministic models of traffic flow with anticipatory driving. These rules are among the only known CA rules for which…
In this paper we use the cellular automaton (CA) approach to model one-dimensional binary diffusion in solids. Employing a very simple state change rule we define an asynchronous CA model and take its continuum limit to obtain the governing…
We say that a Cellular Automata (CA) is coalescing when its execution on two distinct (random) initial configurations in the same asynchronous mode (the same cells are updated in each configuration at each time step) makes both…
If L=Z^D and A is a finite set, then A^L is a compact space. A cellular automaton (CA) is a continuous transformation F:A^L--> A^L that commutes with all shift maps. A quasisturmian (QS) subshift is a shift-invariant subset obtained by…
Cellular automata can show well known features of quantum mechanics, such as a linear rule according to which they evolve and which resembles a discretized version of the Schroedinger equation. This includes corresponding conservation laws.…
For a group $G$ and a finite set $A$, a cellular automaton (CA) is a transformation $\tau : A^G \to A^G$ defined via a finite memory set $S \subseteq G$ and a local map $\mu : A^S \to A$. Although memory sets are not unique, every CA admits…
A universal map is derived for all deterministic 1D cellular automata (CA) containing no freely adjustable parameters. The map can be extended to an arbitrary number of dimensions and topologies and its invariances allow to classify all CA…
Cellular automata are a fundamental computational model with applications in mathematics, computer science, and physics. In this work, we explore the study of cellular automata to cases where the universe is a group, introducing the concept…
Let L:= Z^D be the D-dimensional lattice and let A^L be the Cantor space of L-indexed configurations in some finite alphabet A, with the natural L-action by shifts. A `cellular automaton' is a continuous, shift-commuting self-map F of A^L,…
This paper presents a novel approach to the description and understanding of two-dimensional binary cellular automata with the Moore neighborhood that preserve the number of active cells. Such dynamical systems are known to successfully…
Gauge-invariance is a mathematical concept that has profound implications in Physics---as it provides the justification of the fundamental interactions. It was recently adapted to the Cellular Automaton (CA) framework, in a restricted case.…
We discuss the action principle and resulting Hamiltonian equations of motion for a class of integer-valued cellular automata introduced recently [1]. Employing sampling theory, these deterministic finite-difference equations are mapped…
A class of additive cellular automata (ACA) on a finite group is defined by an index-group $\m g$ and a finite field $\m F_p$ for a prime modulus $p$ \cite{Bul_arch_1}. This paper deals mainly with ACA on infinite commutative groups and…
We describe a class of cellular automata (CAs) that are end-to-end differentiable. DCAs interpolate the behavior of ordinary CAs through rules that act on distributions of states. The gradient of a DCA with respect to its parameters can be…
Cellular automata (CA) consist of an array of identical cells, each of which may take one of a finite number of possible states. The entire array evolves in discrete time steps by iterating a global evolution G. Further, this global…
If M is a monoid (e.g. the lattice Z^D), and G is a finite (nonabelian) group, then G^M is a compact group; a `multiplicative cellular automaton' (MCA) is a continuous transformation F:G^M-->G^M which commutes with all shift maps, and where…
