Let's start with a simple game, due to John Conway, called the Game of Life. Start with a grid of squares and color each square either black or white (dead or alive). Each square has eight neighbors, ...

The Annals of Probability, Vol. 22, No. 1 (Jan., 1994), pp. 244-263 (20 pages) Cellular automata have been the subject of considerable recent study in the statistical physics literature, where they ...

The study of corrosion processes remains pivotal for understanding material degradation in diverse environments. Recent computational approaches, particularly those employing cellular automata ...

Transactions of the American Mathematical Society, Vol. 326, No. 2 (Aug., 1991), pp. 701-726 (26 pages) We apply three alternate definitions of "attractor" to cellular automata. Examples are given to ...

When von Neumann created the first system of cellular automata in the '40s it was purportedly to study self-replicating robots. It's taken this long for someone to finally figure out his true ...

Might treating binary numbers as cellular automata be helpful for the design and implementation of a digital binary counter? As most readers already know, counting in binary is similar to counting in ...

The pharmaceutical industry uses various systems for delivering drug doses over time. One of these is the matrix tablet. These are made by mixing the drug in powder form with an inactive filler ...
