Abstract
In this paper we begin the study the dynamical behavior of non-uniform cellular automata and compare it to the behavior of “classical” cellular automata. In particular we focus on surjectivity and equicontinuity.
This work has been supported by the Interlink/MIUR project “Cellular Automata: Topological Properties, Chaos and Associated Formal Languages”, by the ANR Blanc “Projet Sycomore” and by the PRIN/MIUR project “Formal Languages and Automata: Mathematical and Applicative Aspects”.
