Computation theoretic aspects of cellular automata. (English) Zbl 0729.68052

Summary: Cellular automata may be viewed as computational models of complex systems. They also can be seen as continuous functions on a particular faily of compact metric spaces. This paper surveys results largely motivated by an attempt to answer questions posed by the latter approach by means of techniques from the former.
