COMPLEXITY OF LIMIT LANGUAGE OF THE ELEMENTARY CELLULAR AUTOMATON OF RULE 22

In this paper, the limit set of the elementary cellular automaton of rule 22 is considered. The limit language is defined from limit set and its complexity is studied by using formal language theory. It is proved that this language is not a regular language. This result shows that the dynamics of th...

Zusammenfassung:In this paper, the limit set of the elementary cellular automaton of rule 22 is considered. The limit language is defined from limit set and its complexity is studied by using formal language theory. It is proved that this language is not a regular language. This result shows that the dynamics of this cellular automaton is actually complicated.
