Abstract

Evolution patterns of a one-dimensional homogeneous cellular automaton (CA) are investigated for some standard transition functions. The different possible evolution patterns for an elementary CA starting with at most one active cell or ON state cell are discussed. Also, with respect to some initial configurations, evolution-wise equivalent Wolfram codes are investigated. It is shown that these equivalent codes are automorphic.

Keywords: cellular automaton; evolution pattern; evolution-wise equivalent Wolfram code; elementary cellular automaton
