automata theory and cellular automata

Automata theory is a branch of computer science that focuses on the study of abstract machines or systems capable of processing inputs and generating outputs. It seeks to understand the fundamental principles and limits of computation. Cellular automata, on the other hand, are a specific type of automata that consist of a grid of cells. Each cell can be in different states, and their states evolve over time based on predefined rules. Cellular automata are often used to model complex systems and study emergent behavior. They are particularly useful for understanding patterns and dynamic processes in fields such as physics, biology, and computer science.
