a short question

Post by genarojm »

Do you now where I could find a differential equation representation of the GoL evolution rule?

Thanks,
Genaro

I'm not good at differential equations, but as far as I know Life rule would be hard to represent as differential equation, as it bases on discrete values. Most differential equations are used in systems with continuum of states, time and/or space, but I can be wrong
First question ever. Often referred to as The Question. When this question is asked in right place in right time, no one can lie. No one can abstain. But when The Question is asked, silence will fall. Silence must fall. The Question is: Doctor Who?

Dear Wojowu ,

Yes, fortunately a friend comment me about a paper relating GoL as a CNN, wrote for Leon Chua several years ago.

Some novel capabilities of CNN: game of life and examples of multipath algorithms
Leon Chua, 1992.

Thank you,
