This study introduces a mathematical method to calculate Lyapunov exponents in cellular automata, revealing how damage front velocity characterizes system complexity and information generation.

Area of Science:

  • Complex Systems
  • Nonlinear Dynamics
  • Theoretical Computer Science

Background:

  • Cellular automata exhibit sensitive dependence on initial conditions, a hallmark of chaos.
  • Lyapunov exponents quantify the rate of divergence of nearby trajectories in dynamical systems.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop a rigorous mathematical framework for calculating local maximum Lyapunov exponents in cellular automata.
  • To relate Lyapunov exponents to the dynamics of damage fronts.
  • To quantify deviations in finite-time Lyapunov exponents due to information generation for complexity characterization.

Main Methods:

  • Mathematical construction of local maximum Lyapunov exponents for cellular automata.
  • Analysis of the average velocity of left and right propagating damage fronts.

  • Quantification of deviations in finite-time Lyapunov exponents.
  • Main Results:

    • The maximum Lyapunov exponent is determined by the fastest damage front propagation speed.
    • Deviations in finite-time Lyapunov exponents are linked to information generation.
    • These deviations offer a method for characterizing spacetime complexity.

    Conclusions:

    • Sensitive dependence on initial conditions provides a basis for Lyapunov exponent calculation in cellular automata.
    • Damage front velocity is a key metric for understanding Lyapunov exponents and system dynamics.
    • The quantification of information generation offers new insights into the complexity of cellular automata.
