ABSTRACT

The average transient time, damage spreading and qualitative effects are determined for the NER automata parallel dynamics defined on random graphs. It was obtained that the NER automata converge with linear rate to fixed points, the average damage spreading presents a linear response without discontinuity at the origin for small damage limit and the hamming distance between the initial and steady configurations falls in the range [0.82,0.88]. These results can be interpreted as a generalization of ref. [8] to the case of random graphs where the global connectivity is present.
