Abstract

The cellular automaton (CA) and an integral value transformation (IVT) evolving in discrete time steps are two mathematical models that are well established. Theoretically, it can be suggested that a CA possesses the capacity to produce varieties of evolutionary patterns. However, computing a CA in higher dimensions or computing a nonlinear CA may be complex. In such cases, an IVT can be conveniently used. This paper presents the relation between the transition functions of a one-dimensional CA and an IVT. It also highlights the algebraic structures on the basis of binary operations for a set of transition functions of a one-dimensional CA and for a set of IVTs. The suitability of using an IVT over a CA is discussed. Also, we present the evolutionary models of two deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) sequences through IVTs and their spacetime diagrams. This can eventually bring out some characteristic features of the evolutionary sequences.
