We present a new self-reproducing cellular automaton capable of construction and computation beyond self-reproduction. Our automaton makes use of some of the concepts developed by...
For sums of radicals Pk i=1 i di p i, where i; i are elements of some real algebraic number eld Q( ); di p i 2 R; we present a deterministic polynomial time algorithm to decide wh...
