| Title of Talk | Multi-Resolution Cellular Automata for Real Computation |
| Abstract | We will first briefly review cellular automata and why representing and computing with real numbers with a computer is problematic. Then we will discuss a new approach that uses the concept of fissioning cells to approximate real-valued regions. I will close with a brief explanation of my simulator. |
