摘要
The recent interest in one-dimensional linear hybrid cellular automata (CA) raised two outstanding questions, both of which are answered in this paper: how to construct a general linear hybrid cellular automata such that it has a maximum length cycle, and how the aliasing properties of such automata compare with linear feedback shift registers, when used as signature analyzers. This is accomplished by formally demonstrating the isomorphism which binds this kind of cellular automata to the linear feedback shift registers. Consequently these cellular automata can be analyzed as linear machines; linear algebraic techniques are applied appropriately for the transformations; and a useful search algorithm is developed which, given an irreducible characteristic polynomial, finds a corresponding linear hybrid cellular automata. Such cellular automata are tabulated for all irreducible and primitive polynomials up to degree 16, plus a selection of others of higher degree. © 1990 IEEE
