Directional dynamics along arbitrary curves in cellular automata (Q549696)

The paper is organized around the idea that directional dynamics for cellular automata should not be restricted to linear directions. The main results are as follows: a) an extension of the theory of directional dynamics to arbitrary curves and a proof of a classification theorem; b) constructions and construction tools for equi-continuous dynamics; c) linear directions that correspond to equi-continuous dynamics characterizing the real numbers that can occur as bounds of the intervals of the slopes of the linear directions; d) constraints on the set of curves admitting equi-continuous dynamics in reversible cellular automata.
