...Brian H. Rudall; Joan C. Micó; Antonio Caselles; Pantaleón D. Romero Purpose The purpose is to present a new formal approach based on a partial integro‐differential equation, the space‐time state transition equation (STSTE), and on a set of general equations with which space‐time dynamical models...

...Andrew Wuensche DDLab is interactive graphics software for creating and visualizing discrete dynamical networks, and studying their behavior in terms of both space‐time patterns and basins of attraction. The networks can range from cellular automata to random Boolean networks. This article provides...
