We consider one-dimensional linear cellular automata whose states are the i
ntegers module a prime power p(d) and their orbital patterns. We are partic
ulary interested in initial states and their orbital patterns which are inv
ariant under a certain coarse-graining operation. We show that these coarse
-graining invariant initial states are p-automatic. The relationship betwee
n the solutions of a certain family of coarse-graining invariant problems c
oncerning linear cellular automata over the integers module p(n) is investi
gated.
