In this paper, we assume that G and A are both finite and study various algebraic properties of the finite monoid C A ( G , A ) consisting of all cellular automata over G and A. Let I C A ( G ; A )G and A. In the first part, using information on the conjugacy classes of subgroups of G, we give a detailed description of the structure of I C A ( G ; A ) in terms of direct and wreath products. In the second part, we study generating sets of C A ( G ; A ). In particular, we prove that C A ( G , A ) cannot be generated by cellular automata with small memory set, and, when G is finite abelian, we determine the minimal size of a set V C A ( G ; A ) such that C A ( G ; A ) = I C A ( G ; A ) V . %G English %Z TC 1 %Z WG 1.5 %2 https://inria.hal.science/hal-01435036/document %2 https://inria.hal.science/hal-01435036/file/395687_1_En_8_Chapter.pdf %L hal-01435036 %U https://inria.hal.science/hal-01435036 %~ IFIP-LNCS %~ IFIP %~ IFIP-TC %~ IFIP-TC1 %~ IFIP-LNCS-9664 %~ IFIP-WG1-5 %~ IFIP-AUTOMATA
