Let G be a group and A a set. A cellular automaton (CA) τ over is von Neumann regular (vN-regular) if there exists a CA σ over such that , and in such case, σ is called a weak generalised inverse of τ. In this paper, we investigate the vN-regularity of various kinds of CA. First, we establish that, except for trivial cases, there are always CA that are not vN-regular. Second, we obtain a partial classification of elementary vN-regular CA over by taking advantage of some symmetries among them. Next, when A and G are both finite, we obtain a full characterisation of vN-regular CA over . Finally, we study vN-regular linear CA when is a vector space over and characterise them in certain situations.

设G为一组,A为一组。元胞自动机(CA)τ超过是冯·诺依曼定期(VN-常规)如果存在CA σ过 这样 ,在这种情况下,σ称为τ的弱广义逆。在本文中,我们研究了各种CA的vN正则性。首先,我们确定,除了琐碎的情况外,总是存在不是vN规则的CA。其次,我们获得了基本vN-常规CA的部分分类通过利用其中的一些对称性。接下来,当A和G都是有限的时,我们获得vN-regular CA的完整特征。。最后,我们研究vN-regular线性CA 是向量空间,并在某些情况下将其表征。
