Sparse Moore-local realisations of binary irreducible polynomials on near-square lattice regions
For every $N\ge36$, we realise any prescribed monic irreducible binary polynomial of degree $N$ as the characteristic polynomial of a linear hybrid cellular automaton on a near-square region of exactly $N$ cells. The transition matrix is Moore-local with a null boundary and has at most $3N-1$ directed nonself dependenc...
