I. Karafyllidis et al., NONLINEAR HYBRID CELLULAR-AUTOMATA AS PSEUDORANDOM PATTERN GENERATORSFOR VLSI SYSTEMS, VLSI design (Yverdon), 7(2), 1998, pp. 177-189
The concept of hybrid in space-time Cellular Automata is introduced, f
or the first time, in this paper, and it is suggested that non-linear
hybrid in space-time Cellular Automata can be used as pseudorandom pat
tern generators for VLSI systems, because they can produce patterns wi
th various densities of ''1'', distributed at will in space and time.
The cycle lengths of non-linear hybrid Cellular Automata can be estima
ted using Lyapunov exponents.
