| Summary: | Title screen The one-parameter two-dimensional cellular automaton with the Margolus neighbourhood is analyzed based on considering the projection of the stochastic movements of a single particle. Introducing the auxiliary random variable associated with the direction of the movement, we reduce the problem under consideration to the study of a two-dimensional Markov chain. The master equation for the probability distribution is derived and solved exactly using the probability-generating function method. The probability distribution is expressed analytically in terms of Jacobi polynomials. The moments of the obtained solution allowed us to derive the exact analytical formula for the parametric dependence of the diffusion coefficient in the two-dimensional cellular automaton with the Margolus neighbourhood. Our analytic results agree with earlier empirical results of other authors and refine them. The results are of interest for the modelling two-dimensional diffusion using cellular automata especially for the multicomponent problem. |
