Coarsening and Bifurcations in Wide-Range Two-Dimensional Totalistic Cellular Automata
Franco Bagnoli, Luca Mencarelli
We investigate Boolean, totalistic cellular automata with a majority or frustrated majority vote rule, and an interaction range of variable span. These two models show a behavior w…
General control of linear cellular automata
Franco Bagnoli, Sara Dridi, Bassem Sellami +2
In mathematics and engineering, control theory is concerned with the analysis of dynamical systems through the application of suitable control inputs. One of the prominent problems…
Control of Cellular Automata by Moving Agents with Reinforcement Learning
Franco Bagnoli, Bassem Sellami, Amira Mouakher +1
In this exploratory paper we introduce the problem of cognitive agents that learn how to modify their environment according to local sensing to reach a global goal. We concentrate…
Emulating the logistic map with totalistic cellular automata
Franco Bagnoli
We investigate the conditions under which the mean-field formulation of a probabilistic, totalistic cellular automaton approximates the logistic equation. We show that this goal ca…
Regional Controllability of Cellular Automata as a SAT Problem
Franco Bagnoli, Sara Dridi, Nazim Fates
Controllability, one of the fundamental concepts in control theory, consists in guiding a system from an initial state to a desired one within a limited (and possibly minimum) time…
