Combined Eect of Topology and Synchronism Perturbation on Cellular Automata: Preliminary Results
Résumé
The aim of this paper is to experimentally study the combined effect of the introduction of two kinds of structural perturbations to the behavior of cellular automata. We present the results obtained by simultaneously perturbing synchronism and topology of elementary cellular automata. We show that very interesting and different behaviors appear, including phase transitions and non monotonicity (i.e. introduction of both perturbations is less effective than the introduction of only one of them). These results lead us to think that this study is worth to be now developed more accurately.
