Titre / Title: Linear Speed-Up for Cellular Automata Synchronizers and Applications
Abstract : Simple cellular automata can be used as langage recognizers or function calculators. There are several proofs of the linear speed-up theorem for recognizers [6,7,11]. In this paper we design a linear speed-up method for a special kind of calculators, namely the synchronizers, which are dif- ferent from recognizers. As a consequence, we extend a result form J. Mazoyer by proving that any polynomial with rational coefficients of a synchronization time is also a synchronization time (provided that it be greater than a certain minimal time).
