30 Aug 2000 | Journal: | Physica D 154 (2001): 240--258 | Subject: | Cellular Automata and Lattice Gases; Adaptation and Self-Organizing Systems; Pattern Formation and Solitons | nlin.CG nlin.AO nlin.PS | Abstract: | Particle-like objects are observed to propagate and interact in many spatially extended dynamical systems. For one of the simplest classes of such systems, one-dimensional cellular automata, we establish a rigorous upper bound on the number of distinct products that these interactions can generate. The upper bound is controlled by the structural complexity of the interacting particles---a quantity which is defined here and which measures the amount of spatio-temporal information that a particle stores. Along the way we establish a number of properties of domains and particles that follow from the computational mechanics analysis of cellular automata; thereby elucidating why that approach is of general utility. The upper bound is tested against several relatively complex domain-particle cellular automata and found to be tight. | Source: | arXiv, nlin.CG/0008038 | Services: | Forum | Review | PDF | Favorites |
