Properties of limit set for cellular automata

Is anyone familiar with results about properties of the limit set of the local rule for a cellular automaton? I haven't been able to find any good materials on the subject from an initial search, and ...

A sensitive 2-dimensional cellular automaton with a blocking word

I'am a Ph.D student in the domain of discrete dynamical systems. My thesis is about spectral properties of cellular automata in higher dimension. Kurka gives a classification for one dimensional ...

Growing gliders under rule 110

I found a glider in the evolution space of rule 110 that grows constantly in size. Normal gliders live in the so-called ether, e.g. the so-called E-glider: Other – often complex – gliders exist in an ...

Relation between symbolic substitution and cellular automata

I recently asked this on Math Stackexchange recently in this thread. I was told that there is a relation between symbolic substitutions and cellular automata. I'm vaguely familiar with Cobham's ...

A special kind of pseudo-garden eden states in cellular automata

I'm currently investigating Wolfram's elementary cellular automata on finite grids with periodic boundary conditions, i.e. on $\mathbb{Z}/k$ for different $k$. It is clear that for each rule $R$ and ...

The graph of Rule 110 and vertices degree

Consider the elementary cellular automaton called Rule 110 (famous for being Turing complete): It induces a map $R: \mathbb{N} \to \mathbb{N}$ such that the binary representation of $R(n)$ is ...

Periodic configurations for elementary cellular automata

Let $L$ be an elementary cellular automaton. Then $L$ acts on $\{0,1\}^{\mathbb{Z}}$. We say that a configuration $w\in\{0,1\}^{\mathbb{Z}}$ is periodic if $L^{(n)}(w)=w$ for some $n\in\mathbb{N}$. ...

Does the 2-shift map have a root automorphism?

By the 2-shift map I mean the map $T:\{0,1\}^\mathbb{Z}\to \{0,1\}^\mathbb{Z}$ that shifts the sequence leftwise. By a root I mean an homeomorphism $\psi:\{0,1\}^\mathbb{Z}\to\{0,1\}^\mathbb{Z}$ that ...
