Abstract. Based on a distinguishing sequence for a Finite State Machine (FSM), an efficient checking sequence may be produced from the elements of a set Eα of α –sequences and a set ET of T–sequences, that both recognize the states, and elements of EC which represents the transitions in the FSM. An optimization algorithm may then be used to produce a reduced length checking sequence by connecting the elements of Eα , ET , and EC using transitions taken from an acyclic set E . It is known that only a subset EC of EC is sufficient to form a checking sequence. This paper improves this result by reducing the number of elements in EC that must be included in the generated checking sequence.
