Evolution from seeds in one-dimensional cellular automata
ProbabilitySpeaker: | Janko Gravner, University of California, Davis |
Location: | 1147 MSB |
Start time: | Wed, Oct 19 2011, 4:10PM |
The talk will give an overview of recent results on simple one-dimensional rules started from seeds, i.e., from bounded perturbations of the quiescent state. Two phenomena, replication and robust periodic solutions emanating from one of the edges, are of particular interest. The talk will emphasize examples and interesting open problems, and will be accessible to undergraduates. (Joint work with D. Griffeath, G. Gliner, and M. Pelfrey.)
