Cellular automata (CA) are discrete dynamical systems consist of a regular finite grid of cell; each cell encapsulating an equal portion of the state, and arranged spatially in a regular fashion to form an n-dimensional lattice. A cellular automata is like computers, data represented by initial configurations which is processed by time evolution to produce output. This paper is an empirical study of elementary cellular automata which includes concepts of rule equivalence, evolution of cellular automata and classification of cellular automata. In addition, explanation of behaviour of cellular automata is revealed through example.

This paper discusses the letter entitled “Network analysis of the state space of discrete dynamical systems” by A. Shreim et al. [Phys. Rev. Lett. 98, 198701 (2007)]. We found that some theoretical analyses are wrong and the proposed indicators based on two parameters of the state-mapping network cannot discriminate the dynamical complexity of the discrete dynamical systems composed of a 1D cellular automata.

In this paper, we study the properties of some elementary automata. We have obtained the characteristics of these cellular automata. The concept of the spectrum for a more general class than the class of elementary automata is introduced. We introduce and study discrete dynamical systems which represents the transport of mass on closed chains of contours. Particles on contours move in accordance with given rules. These dynamical systems can be interpreted as cellular automata. Contributions towards this study are as follows. The characteristics of some elementary cellular automata have been obtained. A theorem about the velocity of particles’ movement on the closed chain has been proved. It has been proved that, for any ε > 0 , there exists a chain with flow density ρ < ε such that the average flow particle velocity is less than the velocity of free movement. An interpretation of this system as a transport model is given. The spectrum of a binary closed chain with some conflict resolution rule is studied.

Real cellular automata (RCA) are time-discrete dynamical systems on ℝN. Like cellular automata they can be obtained from discretizing partial differential equations. Due to their structure RCA are ideally suited to implementation on parallel computers with a large number of processors. In a way similar to the Hénon mapping, the system we consider here embeds the logistic mapping in a system on ℝN, N>1. But in contrast to the Hénon system an RCA in general is not invertible. We present some results about the bifurcation structure of such systems, mostly restricting ourselves, due to the complexity of the problem, to the two-dimensional case. Among others we observe cascades of cusp bifurcations forming generalized crossroad areas and crossroad areas with the flip curves replaced by Hopf bifurcation curves.

Cellular automata present great variability in their temporal evolutions due to the number of rules and initial configurations. The possibility of automatically classifying its dynamic behavior would be of great value when studying properties of its dynamics. By counting on elementary cellular automata, and considering its temporal evolution as binary images, the authors created a texture descriptor of the images - based on the neighborhood configurations of the cells in temporal evolutions - so that it could be associated to each dynamic behavior class, following the scheme of Wolfram's classic classification. It was then possible to predict the class of rules of a temporal evolution of an elementary rule in a more effective way than others in the literature in terms of precision and computational cost. By applying the classifier to the larger neighborhood space containing 4 cells, accuracy decreased to just over 70%. However, the classifier is still able to provide some information about the dynamics of an unknown larger space with reduced computational cost.

Cellular automata (CA) are important as prototypical, spatially extended, discrete dynamical systems. Because the problem of forecasting dynamic behavior of CA is undecidable, various parameter-based approximations have been developed to address the problem. Out of the analysis of the most important parameters available to this end we proposed some guidelines that should be followed when defining a parameter of that kind. Based upon the guidelines, new parameters were proposed and a set of five parameters was selected; two of them were drawn from the literature and three are new ones, defined here. This article presents all of them and makes their qualities evident. Then, two results are described, related to the use of the parameter set in the Elementary Rule Space: a phase transition diagram, and some general heuristics for forecasting the dynamics of one-dimensional CA. Finally, as an example of the application of the selected parameters in high cardinality spaces, results are presented from experiments involving the evolution of radius-3 CA in the Density Classification Task, and radius-2 CA in the Synchronization Task.

The topological conjugacy classification of elementary cellular automata with majority memory (ECAMs) is studied under the framework of symbolic dynamics. In the light of the conventional symbolic sequence space, the compact symbolic vector space is identified with a feasible metric and topology. A slight change is introduced to present that all global maps of ECAMs are continuous functions, thereafter generating the compact dynamical systems. By exploiting two fundamental homeomorphisms in symbolic vector space, all ECAMs are furthermore grouped into 88 equivalence classes in the sense that different mappings in the same global equivalence are mutually topologically conjugate.
