Abstract
In this paper we study Ulam's cellular automaton, a nonlinear almost equicontinuous two-dimensional cell-model of crystalline growths. We prove that Ulam's automaton contains a linear chaotic elementary cellular automaton (Rule 150) as a subsystem. We also study the application of the inverse ultradiscretization, a method for deriving partial differential equations from a given cellular automaton, to Ulam's automaton. It is shown that the partial differential equation obtained by the inverse ultradiscretization preserves the self-organizing pattern of Ulam's automaton.
