    Abstract

    We show that the problem of predicting t steps of the 1D cellular automaton Rule 110 is P-complete. The result is found by showing that Rule 110 simulates deterministic Turing machines in polynomial time. As a corollary we find that the small universal Turing machines of Mathew Cook run in polynomial time, this is an exponential improvement on their previously known simulation time overhead.
