Systems of parallel communicating restarting automata

Marcel Vollweiler, Friedrich Otto (2014)

RAIRO - Theoretical Informatics and Applications - Informatique Théorique et Applications

Similarity:

Several types of systems of parallel communicating restarting automata are introduced and studied. The main result shows that, for all types of restarting automata X, centralized systems of restarting automata of type X have the same computational power as non-centralized systems of restarting automata of the same type and the same number of components. This result is proved by a direct simulation. In addition, it is shown that for one-way restarting automata without auxiliary symbols,...

Hyper-minimizing minimized deterministic finite state automata

Andrew Badr, Viliam Geffert, Ian Shipman (2009)

RAIRO - Theoretical Informatics and Applications - Informatique Théorique et Applications

Similarity:

We present the first (polynomial-time) algorithm for reducing a given deterministic finite state automaton (DFA) into a hyper-minimized DFA, which may have fewer states than the classically minimized DFA. The price we pay is that the language recognized by the new machine can differ from the original on a finite number of inputs. These hyper-minimized automata are optimal, in the sense that every DFA with fewer states must disagree on infinitely many inputs. With small modifications,...
