Abstract(in Japanese) (See Japanese page)
Abstract(in English) The famous firing squad synchronization problem is stated as follows: Given a one-dimensional array of n identical cellular automata, including a general at the left end which is activated at time t = 0, we want to design the automata so that, at some future time, all the cells will simultaneously and, for the first time, enter a special firing state. The problem was originally proposed by J. Myhill in 1957 to synchronize all parts of a self-reproducing machine. In this paper, we propose a design scheme for one-way recursive optimum-time firing squad synchronization algorithms for one-dimensional celluler arrays and develop a 26-state optimum-time synchronization algorithm having one-way recursiveness. In addition, we also study a class of synchronization algorithms with one-way recursiveness operating in linasr-time. A 39-state implementation for (3n-3)-step one-way recursive synchronization algorithm will be given.
