Abstract. We generalize some of the central results in automata theory to the abstraction level of coalgebras and thus lay out the foundations of a universal theory of automata ope...
A word w is called synchronizing (recurrent, reset, directable) word of deterministic finite automaton (DFA) if w brings all states of the automaton to an unique state. ˇCerny co...
Automata theory presents roughly three types of automata: finite automata, pushdown automata and Turing machines. The automata are treated as language acceptors, and the expressiv...

A solution to a problem of Erdos, Rubin and Taylor is obtained by showing that if a graph G is (a : b)-choosable, and c/d > a/b, then G is not necessarily (c : d)-choosable. Th...
We study the local testability of linear codes. We first reformulate this question in the language of tolerant linearity testing under a non-uniform distribution. We then study th...
