Since the famous construction of “the hardest context-free language” by Greibach (1973), the existence of hardest languages under homomorphic reductions has been investigated for quite a few language families. This paper shows that for one-way real-time cellular automata, also known as trellis automata, there is no hardest language, whereas for linear-time cellular automata, the hardest language is constructed.
