Some results on cellular automata

Similarity:

We want to discuss some properties of one-dimensional, radius 1, CUCAs (we denote by CUCA a Computationally Universal Cellular Automaton; see later on for the definitions). In particular, on one hand we want to keep small the number of states (the first example of «small» CUCA is due to Smith III [13]; it requires 18 states); on the other hand we are interested into automata, possibly requiring a high number of states, whose transition law is «as simple as possible»; e.g. totalistic...

Efficient simulation of synchronous systems by multi-speed systems

Similarity:

We consider systems consisting of finite automata communicating by exchanging messages and working on the same read-only data. We investigate the situation in which the automata work with constant but different speeds. We assume furthermore that the automata are not aware of the speeds and they cannot measure them directly. Nevertheless, the automata have to compute a correct output. We call this model multi-speed systems of finite automata. Complexity measure that we consider here is...

Returning and non-returning parallel communicating finite automata are equivalent

Ashish Choudhary, Kamala Krithivasan, Victor Mitrana (2007)

RAIRO - Theoretical Informatics and Applications

Similarity:

A parallel communicating automata system consists of several automata working independently in parallel and communicating with each other by request with the aim of recognizing a word. Rather surprisingly, returning parallel communicating finite automata systems are equivalent to the non-returning variants. We show this result by proving the equivalence of both with multihead finite automata. Some open problems are finally formulated.

How expressions can code for automata

Sylvain Lombardy, Jacques Sakarovitch (2005)

RAIRO - Theoretical Informatics and Applications - Informatique Théorique et Applications

Similarity:

In this paper we investigate how it is possible to recover an automaton from a rational expression that has been computed from that automaton. The notion of derived term of an expression, introduced by Antimirov, appears to be instrumental in this problem. The second important ingredient is the co-minimization of an automaton, a dual and generalized Moore algorithm on non-deterministic automata. We show here that if an automaton is then sufficiently “decorated”, the combination of these...

Traces of term-automatic graphs

Antoine Meyer (2008)

RAIRO - Theoretical Informatics and Applications

Similarity:

In formal language theory, many families of languages are defined using either grammars or finite acceptors. For instance, context-sensitive languages are the languages generated by growing grammars, or equivalently those accepted by Turing machines whose work tape's size is proportional to that of their input. A few years ago, a new characterisation of context-sensitive languages as the sets of traces, or path labels, of rational graphs (infinite graphs defined by sets of finite-state...

Corrigendum to our paper: How Expressions Can Code for Automata

Sylvain Lombardy, Jacques Sakarovitch (2010)

RAIRO - Theoretical Informatics and Applications

Similarity:

In a previous paper, we have described the construction of an automaton from a rational expression which has the property that the automaton built from an expression which is itself computed from a co-deterministic automaton by the state elimination method is co-deterministic. It turned out that the definition on which the construction is based was inappropriate, and thus the proof of the property was flawed. We give here the correct definition of the broken derived terms...
