TLDR
Analysis is given of ''elementary'' cellular automata consisting of a sequence of sites with values 0 or 1 on a line, with each site evolving deterministically in discrete time steps according to p definite rules involving the values of its nearest neighbors.Abstract:
Cellular automata are used as simple mathematical models to investigate self-organization in statistical mechanics. A detailed analysis is given of "elementary" cellular automata consisting of a sequence of sites with values 0 or 1 on a line, with each site evolving deterministically in discrete time steps according to definite rules involving the values of its nearest neighbors. With simple initial configurations, the cellular automata either tend to homogeneous states, or generate self-similar patterns with fractal dimensions \ensuremath{\simeq} 1.59 or \ensuremath{\simeq} 1.69. With "random" initial configurations, the irreversible character of the cellular automaton evolution leads to several self-organization phenomena. Statistical properties of the structures generated are found to lie in two universality classes, independent of the details of the initial state or the cellular automaton rules. More complicated cellular automata are briefly considered, and connections with dynamical systems theory and the formal theory of computation are discussed.read more

Diffusion-limited aggregation, a kinetic critical phenomenon
Abstract: A model for random aggregates is studied by computer simulation The model is applicable to a metal-particle aggregation process whose correlations have been measured previously Density correlations within the model aggregates fall off with distance with a fractional power law, like those of the metal aggregates The radius of gyration of the model aggregates has power-law behavior The model is a limit of a model of dendritic growth
