Additive Cellular Automata

The authors present an extensive survey that reports on related research and new developments in the field of Cellular Automata (CA). Additive Cellular Automata: Theory and Applications will help you understand the basics of CA and prepare for further research. The book illustrates the matrix algebraic tools that characterize both group and non-group CA and proposes a wide variety of applications to solve real life problems. The book examines CA applications in the fields of VLSI testing, synthesis of easily testable FSM and combinational logic circuit, error correcting code, data encryption, generation of hashing function, and design of pseudo-associative memory. The book also covers characterization of two-dimensional Cellular Automata.
