We present a novel representation of 1D reversible and numberconserving cellular automata with four states. Carrying this view over to two dimensions, we are able to construct 65 four-state reversible and numberconserving 2D cellular automata with the von Neumann neighborhood. A clever use of the split-and-perturb decomposition of number-conserving CAs allows to prove by elimination that this list is complete.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
