Lower bounds for Las Vegas automata by information theory

Mika HirvensaloSebastian Seibert — 2003

RAIRO - Theoretical Informatics and Applications - Informatique Théorique et Applications

We show that the size of a Las Vegas automaton and the size of a complete, minimal deterministic automaton accepting a regular language are polynomially related. More precisely, we show that if a regular language L is accepted by a Las Vegas automaton having r states such that the probability for a definite answer to occur is at least p , then r n p , where n is the number of the states of the minimal deterministic automaton accepting L . Earlier this result has been obtained in [2] by using a reduction...

We show that the size of a automaton and the size of a complete, minimal automaton accepting a regular language are polynomially related. More precisely, we show that if a regular language is accepted by a Las Vegas automaton having  states such that the probability for a definite answer to occur is at least , then , where is the number of the states of the minimal deterministic automaton accepting . Earlier this result has been obtained in [2] by using a reduction to , but here we give a direct...
