Аннотация
In the book we present certain results of the work we have done in the
theory of Classical Cellular Automata (CA). At present, these results form
an essential constituent of the CA problematics. In particular, we have
studied such problems as the nonconstructability problem in the CA, the
decomposition problem of global transition functions in the CA, extremal
constructive possibilities, the parallel formal grammars and languages
defined by CA, complexity of finite configurations and global transition
functions in the CA, simulation problem in classical CA, etc. At present,
the CA problematics is a rather well developed independent field of the
mathematical cybernetics that has a rather considerable field of various
appendices. In addition, with the equal right the CA problematics can be
considered as a component of such fields as discrete parallel dynamical
systems, discrete mathematics, cybernetics, complex systems and some
others. In our viewpoint, the book will represent an indubitable interest
for students, post–graduates and persons working for doctor's degree of
the appropriate faculties of universities, above all, of naturally scientific
level along with teachers in subjects such as mathematical and physical
modelling, discrete mathematics, automata theory, computer science,
cybernetics, theoretical biology, computer technique, and a lot of others.
In recent years, the classical CA models are one of the most promising
simulating environments for various highly parallel discrete processes,
objects and phenomena admitting reversible dynamics, that is enough
important from a physical point of view, in the first place.
