Abstract

A set of equivalences is established among cellular automata, iterative acceptors, and linear-bounded automata. However, cellular automata are shown to be inherently faster than iterative acceptors. Many positive results are presented to indicate that the context-free languages can, perhaps, be accepted in time n and space n by cellular automata.
