Conservation Laws in Rectangular CA

Abstract:

A 1D Reversible Cellular Automata (RCA) with forward and backward radius-1/2
neighborhoods is called Rectangular. It was previously conjec-tured that the conservation laws
in 1D Rectangular RCA can be described as linear combinations of independent constant-
speed flows to the right or to the left. This is indeed the case; so is a similar statement about a
more general class of Rectangular RCA in any dimension.
