Counting Fixed Points and Gardens of Eden of Sequential Dynamical Systems on Planar Bipartite Graphs
We study counting various types of configurations in certain classes of graph automata viewed as discrete dynamical systems. The graph automata models of our interest are Sequential and Synchronous Dynamical Systems (SDSs and SyDSs, respectively). These models have been proposed as a mathematical foundation for a theory of large-scale simulations of complex multi-agent systems. Our emphasis in ...

متن کاملThe Enumeration of Preimages and Gardens-of-Eden in Sequential Cellular Automata
Cellular automata (CA) are discrete dynamic systems, of simple construction but varied behavior. Studying preimages of CA is important for learning their properties [2, 3]. Gardens-of-Eden (GOE) are sequences with no preimages and are related to the preimages of a rule in [1, 2, 4]. Recently in [5], Chris Barrett, William Y. C. Chen, and Christian Reidys made an approach on the GOE in sequentia...
متن کاملDynamical Behavior of a Rigid Body with One Fixed Point (Gyroscope). Basic Concepts and Results. Open Problems: a Review
The study of the dynamic behavior of a rigid body with one fixed point (gyroscope) has a long history. A number of famous mathematicians and mechanical engineers have devoted enormous time and effort to clarify the role of dynamic effects on its movement (behavior) – stable, periodic, quasi-periodic or chaotic. The main objectives of this review are: 1) to outline the characteristic features of...
متن کاملOn Complexity of Counting Fixed Point Configurations in Certain Classes of Graph Automata
We study computational complexity of counting the fixed point configurations (FPs) in certain discrete dynamical systems. We prove that counting FPs in Sequential and Synchronous Dynamical Systems (SDSs and SyDSs, respectively) is computationally intractable, even when each node is required to update according to a symmetric Boolean function. We also show that the problems of counting the garde...
