“…Random perturbation of signals has been an active field of research in several mathematics and computer science areas, for example, for the linear tracking of signals [29], for global optimization metaheuristics [30,31], for neural network synchronization [32], for optimal control of a stochastic dynamical system [33], for analyzing the transient dynamics of a predator-prey system [34], for the asymptotic covariance estimation [35], and for the study of the numerical approximation of partial differential equations [36], to mention some representative works. However, to our knowledge, this type of analysis has yet to be applied to detect complex dynamics in CAs.…”
