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

A genetic algorithm for automatic generation of test logic for digital circuits
TL;DR: This approach is the first attempt of exploiting evolutionary techniques for identifying the hardware for input pattern generation in BIST structures and shows that in most of the standard benchmark circuits the cellular automaton selected by the genetic algorithm is able to reach a fault coverage close to the maximum one.

Cellular Automata: Reversibility, Semi-reversibility and Randomness
TL;DR: A mathematical tool, named reachability tree, is developed and relation between reversibility of finite and infinite CAs is established and CAs as source of randomness are explored to build pseudo-random number generators (PRNGs) based on CAs.

Handling the COVID-19 crisis: Toward an agile model-based systems approach
TL;DR: It is demonstrated through computational experiments that maintaining strict confinement policies for longer than 60 days may indeed be able to suppress lethality below 1% and yield the best health outcomes, but cause economic damages due to lost work that could turn out to be counterproductive in the long term.

Metabolic stability and epigenesis in randomly constructed genetic nets
TL;DR: The hypothesis that contemporary organisms are also randomly constructed molecular automata is examined by modeling the gene as a binary (on-off) device and studying the behavior of large, randomly constructed nets of these binary “genes”.

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
