Hyper-minimizing minimized deterministic finite state automata

Andrew Badr, Viliam Geffert, Ian Shipman (2009)

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...

Efficient simulation of synchronous systems by multi-speed systems

Tomasz Jurdziński, Mirosław Kutyłowski, Jan Zatopiański (2005)

RAIRO - Theoretical Informatics and Applications - Informatique Théorique et Applications

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...

Translation from classical two-way automata to pebble two-way automata

Viliam Geffert, L'ubomíra Ištoňová (2010)

RAIRO - Theoretical Informatics and Applications - Informatique Théorique et Applications

Similarity:

We study the relation between the standard two-way automata and more powerful devices, namely, two-way finite automata equipped with some ℓ additional “pebbles” that are movable along the input tape, but their use is restricted (nested) in a stack-like fashion. Similarly as in the case of the classical two-way machines, it is not known whether there exists a polynomial trade-off, in the number of states, between the nondeterministic and deterministic two-way automata with ℓ nested pebbles....
