Algebraic techniques are used to give an extensive analysis of the global properties of a class of finite cellular automata. The complete structure of state transition diagrams is derived in terms of algebraic and number theoretical quantities. The systems are usually irreversible, and are found to evolve through transients to attractors consisting of cycles sometimes containing a large number of configurations.
