Closure under union and composition of iterated rational transductions

D. Simplot, A. Terlutte (2010)

RAIRO - Theoretical Informatics and Applications

Similarity:

We proceed our work on iterated transductions by studying the closure under union and composition of some classes of iterated functions. We analyze this closure for the classes of length-preserving rational functions, length-preserving subsequential functions and length-preserving sequential functions with terminal states. All the classes we obtain are equal. We also study the connection with deterministic context-sensitive languages.

Decision problems among the main subfamilies of rational relations

Olivier Carton, Christian Choffrut, Serge Grigorieff (2006)

RAIRO - Theoretical Informatics and Applications

Similarity:

We consider the four families of recognizable, synchronous, deterministic rational and rational subsets of a direct product of free monoids. They form a strict hierarchy and we investigate the following decision problem: given a relation in one of the families, does it belong to a smaller family? We settle the problem entirely when all monoids have a unique generator and fill some gaps in the general case. In particular, adapting a proof of Stearns, we show that it is recursively decidable whether...

On the continuity set of an Omega rational function

Olivier Carton, Olivier Finkel, Pierre Simonnet (2008)

RAIRO - Theoretical Informatics and Applications

Similarity:

In this paper, we study the continuity of rational functions realized by Büchi finite state transducers. It has been shown by Prieur that it can be decided whether such a function is continuous. We prove here that surprisingly, it cannot be decided whether such a function  has at least one point of continuity and that its continuity set cannot be computed. In the case of a synchronous rational function, we show that its continuity set is rational and that it can be computed....

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,...

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...
