Exemples de classes d'automates cellulaires

Marianne Delorme, Jacques Mazoyer (2008)

RAIRO - Theoretical Informatics and Applications

Lorsqu'on observe des orbites de certains automates cellulaires, on peut penser qu'elles apparaissent comme des mélanges d'orbites d'autres automates (composants). Dans cet article, nous tentons de comprendre ce phénomène en construisant un hybride de deux automates au moyen d'un troisième. Deux types d'automates cellulaires sont introduits : les captifs et les foulards. Nous comparons des propriétés de ces hybrides dans le cadre des classifications algébriques introduites par [B. Martin...

Number-conserving reversible cellular automata and their computation-universality

Kenichi Morita, Katsunobu Imai (2001)

RAIRO - Theoretical Informatics and Applications - Informatique Théorique et Applications

We introduce a new model of cellular automaton called a one-dimensional number-conserving partitioned cellular automaton (NC-PCA). An NC-PCA is a system such that a state of a cell is represented by a triple of non-negative integers, and the total (i.e., sum) of integers over the configuration is conserved throughout its evolving (computing) process. It can be thought as a kind of modelization of the physical conservation law of mass (particles) or energy. We also define a reversible version of...

On the computation of covert channel capacity

Eugene Asarin, Cătălin Dima (2010)

RAIRO - Theoretical Informatics and Applications

We address the problem of computing the capacity of a covert channel, modeled as a nondeterministic transducer. We give three possible statements of the notion of “covert channel capacity” and relate the different definitions. We then provide several methods allowing the computation of lower and upper bounds for the capacity of a channel. We show that, in some cases, including the case of input-deterministic channels, the capacity of the channel can be computed exactly (e.g. in the form...

On the equivalence of linear conjunctive grammars and trellis automata

Alexander Okhotin (2004)

RAIRO - Theoretical Informatics and Applications - Informatique Théorique et Applications

This paper establishes computational equivalence of two seemingly unrelated concepts: linear conjunctive grammars and trellis automata. Trellis automata, also studied under the name of one-way real-time cellular automata, have been known since early 1980s as a purely abstract model of parallel computers, while linear conjunctive grammars, introduced a few years ago, are linear context-free grammars extended with an explicit intersection operation. Their equivalence implies the equivalence of several...
