A (one dimensional) cellular automaton is a function1 F : Σ → Σ with the property that there is a K > 0 such that F (x)i depends only on the 2K + 1 coordinates xi−K , xi−K+1, . . . , xi−1, xi, xi+1, . . . , xi+K . A periodic point of σ is any x such that σ^p (x) = x for some p ∈ N, and a periodic point of F is any x such that F^q (x) = x for some q ∈ N. Given a cellular automaton F, a point x ∈ Σ is jointly periodic if there are p, q ∈ N such that σ^p (x) = F^q (x) = x, that is, it is a periodic point under both functions.
This project aims to explore the nature of one-dimensional Cellular Automata, in the hope of finding the structure of cellular automata through its periodic points.
