Abstract

The capabilities of reliable computations in linear cellular arrays with communication failures are investigated in terms of syntactical pattern recognition. In particular we consider very fast, i. e. real-time, computations. It is well-known that real-time one-way arrays are strictly less powerful than real-time two-way arrays. Here it is shown that the sets of patterns reliably recognizable by real-time arrays with link failures are strictly in between the sets of (intact) one-way and (intact) two-way arrays. Hence, the failures cannot be compensated in general but, on the other hand, do not decrease the computing power to that one of one-way arrays.
