✦ Synopsis


We study the chaotic behavior of a particular class of dynamical systems: cellular automata. We specialize the definition of chaos given by Devaney for general dynamical systems to the case of cellular automata. A dynamical system (X,F) is chaotic according to Devaney's definition of chaos if its ~sition map F is sensitive to the initial conditions, topolo~cally transitive, and has dense periodic orbits on X. Our main result is the proof that all the additive one-dimensional cellular automata defined on a finite alphabet of prime cardinal&y are chaotic in the sense of Devaney.
