A Fast and Simple Algorithm for Constructing Minimal Acyclic Deterministic Finite Automata
: In this paper, we present a fast and simple algorithm for constructing a minimal acyclic deterministic finite automaton from a finite set of words. Such automata are useful in a ...

Synchronization and Stability of Finite Automata
: Let G = (V, E) be a strongly connected and aperiodic directed graph of uniform out-degree k. A deterministic finite automaton is obtained if the edges are colored with k colors i...

Description and analysis of a bottom-up DFA minimization algorithm
Abstract. We establish linear-time reductions between the minimization of a deterministic finite automaton (DFA) and the conjunction of 3 subproblems: the minimization of a strongl...

The Road Coloring and Cerny Conjecture
A synchronizing word of a deterministic automaton is a word in the alphabet of colors (considered as letters) of its edges that maps the automaton to a single state. A coloring of...

Inference of Event-Recording Automata Using Timed Decision Trees
In regular inference, the problem is to infer a regular language, typically represented by a deterministic finite automaton (DFA) from answers to a finite set of membership querie...

Optimal Metric Planning with State Sets in Automata Representation
This paper proposes an optimal approach to infinite-state action planning exploiting automata theory. State sets and actions are characterized by Presburger formulas and represent...
