We study the computational complexity of several problems with the evolution of configurations on finite cellular automata. In many cases, the problems turn out to be complete in their respective classes. For example, the problem of deciding whether a configuration has a predecessor is shown to be N

The principal result described in this paper is the equivalence of the following statements : (1) Every set accepted by a nondeterministic one-way two-head finite automaton can be accepted by a deterministic two-way k-head finite automaton, for some k. (2) The context-free language Lp (described i
We consider uniform and non-uniform assumptions for the hardness of an explicit problem from ΓΏnite state automata theory. First we show that a small improvement in the known straightforward algorithm for this problem can be used to design faster algorithms for subset sum and factoring, and improved
The relationship between the structure of autonomous finite automata and their operation-preserving functions is considered. The results imply some ideas in the study of operation-preserving functions of arbitrary finite automata, because with each finite automaton the set of its autonomous factors
In this note, we establish the space complexity of decision problems (such as membership, nonemptiness and equivalence) for some finite automata. Our study includes 2-way infinite automata with a pebble.
