Abstract

A novel algebraic and dynamic systems approach to finite elementary cellular automata is presented. In particular, simple algebraic expressions for the local rules of elementary cellular automata are deduced and the cellular automata configurations are represented via Fourier analysis. This allows for a further analysis of the global dynamics of cellular automata by the use of tools derived from functional analysis and dynamical system theory.
