Abstract

In this work, we shall present some arithmetical and topological properties of Ising automata. More precisely, we shall study many different notions, such as faithful and strictly faithful automata, factor aud product automata, irreducible and weakly irreducible automata, prime automata, homogeneous automata, minimal automata, invertible automata, etc., and discuss their related properties. We shall also define and study three different topologies over the set of all minimal automata, and discuss the topological closure property of automatic sequences. As application, we shall use the obtained results to give a somewhat detailed analysis of Ising automata.
