Abstract

A Cellular Automata (CA) is an autonomous machine which evolves in discrete space and time. Study of the homogeneous structure of CA was initiated by Neumann (The theory of self-reproducing automata. University of Illinois Press, Urbana and London, 1966, [1]) to simulate physical systems. In last few decades, a large number of authors from diverse disciplines have investigated wide varieties of CA applications.
