Lower Bounds for Las Vegas Automata by Information Theory

Mika Hirvensalo, Sebastian Seibert (2010)

RAIRO - Theoretical Informatics and 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 ≥ np, 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...

Lower Space Bounds for Accepting Shuffle Languages

Andrzej Szepietowski (2010)

RAIRO - Theoretical Informatics and Applications

In [6] it was shown that shuffle languages are contained in one-way-NSPACE(log n) and in P. In this paper we show that nondeterministic one-way logarithmic space is in some sense the lower bound for accepting shuffle languages. Namely, we show that there exists a shuffle language which is not accepted by any deterministic one-way Turing machine with space bounded by a sublinear function, and that there exists a shuffle language which is not accepted with less than logarithmic space even if we allow...

Maximal circular codes versus maximal codes

Yannick Guesnet (2001)

RAIRO - Theoretical Informatics and Applications - Informatique Théorique et Applications

We answer to a question of De Luca and Restivo whether there exists a circular code which is maximal as circular code and not as code.

Minimal NFA and biRFSA languages

Michel Latteux, Yves Roos, Alain Terlutte (2009)

RAIRO - Theoretical Informatics and Applications - Informatique Théorique et Applications

In this paper, we define the notion of biRFSA which is a residual finate state automaton (RFSA) whose the reverse is also an RFSA. The languages recognized by such automata are called biRFSA languages. We prove that the canonical RFSA of a biRFSA language is a minimal NFA for this language and that each minimal NFA for this language is a sub-automaton of the canonical RFSA. This leads to a characterization of the family of biRFSA languages. In the second part of this paper, we define the family...
