A note on decidability of cellularity

Abstract

A regular language L is said to be cellular if there exists a 1-dimensional cellular automaton CA such that L is the language consisting of the finite blocks associated with CA. It is shown that cellularity of a regular language is decidable using a new characterization of cellular languages formulated by Freiling, Goldstein and Moews and implied by a deep result of Boyle in symbolic dynamics.
