The minimal deterministic finite automaton is generally used to determine regular languages equality. Using Brzozowski's notion of derivative, Antimirov and Mosses proposed a...
Abstract. We present a reflection on the evolution of the different methods for constructing minimal deterministic acyclic finite-state automata from a finite set of words. We ...
The study of finite automata and regular languages is a privileged meeting point of algebra and logic. Since the work of Büchi, regular languages have been classified according ...
Exotic semirings such as the “(max, +) semiring” (R ∪ {−∞}, max, +), or the “tropical semiring” (N ∪ {+∞}, min, +), have been invented and reinvented many times s...
