Modeling single length cycle nonlinear cellular automata for pattern recognition

This work proposes characterization of single-length cycle cellular automata (CA) attractors with the target to model this class of CA for designing efficient pattern recognizer. Identification of essential properties of a CA while forming multi-length cycles provides the basis of such characterization. A scheme has been developed that synthesizes the single-length cycle attractor CA, avoiding multi-length cycles, desired for a pattern recognizer.
