Captive Cellular Automata
Abstract. We introduce a natural class of cellular automata characterised by a property of the local transition law without any assumption on the states set. We investigate some al...

Simulating 3D Cellular Automata with 2D Cellular Automata
The purpose of this article is to describe a way to simulate any 3-dimensional cellular automaton with a 2-dimensional cellular automaton. We will present the problems that arise w...

The Dual of Concatenation
A binary language-theoretic operation is proposed, which is dual to the concatenation of languages in the same sense as the universal quantifier in logic is dual to the existenti...

Ubiquitous Parameterization - Invitation to Fixed-Parameter Algorithms
Abstract. Problem parameters are ubiquitous. In every area of computer science, we find all kinds of “special aspects” to the problems encountered. Hence, the study of paramet...
