Abstract
It has recently been shown that no one-dimensional, two-state cellular automaton can classify binary strings according to whether their density of s exceeds or not. We show that by changing the output specification, namely, the final pattern toward which the system should converge, without increasing its computational complexity, a two-state, cellular automaton exists that can perfectly solve the density problem.
