Abstract

The notion of one-dimensional one-way cellular automata has been introduced to model cellular automata with only a one-way communication between two neighbor cells. In this paper, we generalize this notion to cellular automata working on different communication graphs. We present some necessary and/or sufficient conditions for a cellular automaton to be simulated by a one-way cellular automaton having the same underlying graph, and we give some bounds on the simulation time of this mimic.

This work was partially supported by the Esprit Basic Research Action “Algebraic and Semantical Methods In Computer Science”, by the PRC “Mathématique et Informatique” and by a grant of the French Gouvernement.
