摘要

This work studies Cellular Automata (CAs) over Cayley tree of order 2, where each vertex of the tree is considered as a cell and the nearest connected vertices are considered as its neighbors. The proposed CA follows a two-state, four-neighborhood structure, where each cell updates its state using a local update rule. In this work, we mainly focus on the fixed points of a CA. When a CA reaches to a fixed point, say c, the CA remains at c forever during evolution. We investigate the fixed points by introducing the Fixed Point Graph (FPG) of a CA. Finally, we propose an algorithm that computes the number of fixed points of a CA.
