The Aperiodic Domino Problem in Higher Dimension

Authors: Antonin Callard and Benjamin Hellouin de Menibus

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 219, 39th International Symposium on Theoretical Aspects of Computer Science (STACS 2022)


Abstract
The classical Domino problem asks whether there exists a tiling in which none of the forbidden patterns given as input appear. In this paper, we consider the aperiodic version of the Domino problem: given as input a family of forbidden patterns, does it allow an aperiodic tiling? The input may correspond to a subshift of finite type, a sofic subshift or an effective subshift. [Grandjean et al., 2018] proved that this problem is co-recursively enumerable (Π₀¹-complete) in dimension 2 for geometrical reasons. We show that it is much harder, namely analytic (Σ₁¹-complete), in higher dimension: d ≥ 4 in the finite type case, d ≥ 3 for sofic and effective subshifts. The reduction uses a subshift embedding universal computation and two additional dimensions to control periodicity. This complexity jump is surprising for two reasons: first, it separates 2- and 3-dimensional subshifts, whereas most subshift properties are the same in dimension 2 and higher; second, it is unexpectedly large.

Aperiodic Points in Z²-subshifts

Authors: Anael Grandjean, Benjamin Hellouin de Menibus, and Pascal Vanier

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 107, 45th International Colloquium on Automata, Languages, and Programming (ICALP 2018)


Abstract
We consider the structure of aperiodic points in Z^2-subshifts, and in particular the positions at which they fail to be periodic. We prove that if a Z^2-subshift contains points whose smallest period is arbitrarily large, then it contains an aperiodic point. This lets us characterise the computational difficulty of deciding if an Z^2-subshift of finite type contains an aperiodic point. Another consequence is that Z^2-subshifts with no aperiodic point have a very strong dynamical structure and are almost topologically conjugate to some Z-subshift. Finally, we use this result to characterize sets of possible slopes of periodicity for Z^3-subshifts of finite type.

Construction of mu-Limit Sets of Two-dimensional Cellular Automata

Authors: Martin Delacourt and Benjamin Hellouin de Ménibus

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 30, 32nd International Symposium on Theoretical Aspects of Computer Science (STACS 2015)


Abstract
We prove a characterisation of \mu-limit sets of two-dimensional cellular automata, extending existing results in the one-dimensional case. This sets describe the typical asymptotic behaviour of the cellular automaton, getting rid of exceptional cases, when starting from the uniform measure.
