Periodic points and cellular automata
2011 Update. The computer program described below
doesn't compile with the current version of C.
However, Brendan Berg (berg@math.umd.edu) has updated the program to
a form which compiles and we can provide that to anyone interested.
Problems of cellular automata and periodic points are given
in Section 25 of my paper
Open problems in symbolic dynamics
============================================
The primary initial (3 July 2006) purpose of this page
is to make available a
This program was developed by Bryant Lee, who played genie
to my Aladdin (but granting many more than three wishes).
We have a preprint based on our explorations:
A related
paper in Indagationes Math. with Bruce Kitchens,
Periodic points for onto cellular automata ,
is also on my
publications page.
I welcome feedback and suggestions.
