We provide the conditions under which a cellular automaton defined by certain classes of non-linear local rules exhibits surjectivity and reversibility. For the latter, the condition turns out to be a characterization. We also analyze the role of permutivity as a key factor influencing these properties and provide conditions that determine whether a non-linear CA in such classes is (bi)permutive.

Abstract

We provide the conditions under which a cellular automaton defined by certain classes of non-linear local rules exhibits surjectivity and reversibility. For the latter, the condition turns out to be a characterization. We also analyze the role of permutivity as a key factor influencing these properties and provide conditions that determine whether a non-linear CA in such classes is (bi)permutive.
