Cellular automata ca-90 have states 0 and 1, and their dynamics, driven by the local transition rule 90, can be simply represented with Laurent polynomials over a finite field F2={0,1}. Cellular automata cam-90 with memory, whose configurations are pairs of those of ca-90, are introduced as a useful machinery to solve certain equations on configurations, in particular, to compute fixed or kernel configurations of ca-90. This paper defines a notion of linear dynamical systems with memory, states their basic properties, and then studies some period lengths of one-dimensional and two-dimensional cellular automata cam-90 with memory.
