Abstract

This paper explores the algebraic conditions under which a cellular automaton with a non-linear local rule exhibits surjectivity and reversibility. We also analyze the role of permutivity as a key factor influencing these properties and provide conditions that determine whether a non-linear CA is (bi)permutive. Through theoretical results and illustrative examples, we characterize the relationships between these fundamental properties, offering new insights into the dynamical behavior of non-linear CA.
