AbstractNilpotent cellular automata have the simplest possible dynamics: all initial configurations lead in bounded time into the unique fixed point of the system. We investigate nilpotency in the setup of one-dimensional non-uniform cellular automata (NUCA) where different cells may use different local rules. There are infinitely many cells in NUCA but only a finite number of different local rules. Changing the distribution of the local rules in the system may drastically change the dynamics. We prove that if the available local rules are such that every periodic distribution of the rules leads to nilpotent behavior then so do also all eventually periodic distributions. However, in some cases there may be non-periodic distributions that are not nilpotent even if all periodic distributions are nilpotent. We demonstrate such a possibility using aperiodic Wang tile sets. We also investigate temporally periodic points in NUCA. In contrast to classical uniform cellular automata, there are NUCA—even reversible equicontinuous ones—that do not have any temporally periodic points. We prove the undecidability of this property: there is no algorithm to determine if a NUCA with a given finite distribution of local rules has a periodic point.

The reconstruction of a three-dimensional image of a specimen from a set of electron micrographs reduces, under certain assumptions about the imaging process in the microscope, to the mathematical problem of reconstructing a density distribution from a set of its plane projections.In the absence of noise we can formulate a purely geometrical criterion, which, for a general object, fixes the resolution attainable from a given finite number of views in terms of the size of the object. For simplicity we take the ideal case of projections collected by a series of m equally spaced tilts about a single axis.
