Abstract

ν-CA are cellular automata which can have different local rules at each site of their lattice. Indeed, the spatial distribution of local rules completely characterizes ν-CA. In this paper, sets of distributions sharing some interesting properties are associated with languages of bi-infinite words. The complexity classes of these languages are investigated providing an initial rough classification of ν-CA.
