The algebraic hierarchical decomposition of finite state automata can be applied wherever a finite system should be `understood' using a hierarchical coordinate system. Here ...
We show that regarding finite automata (FA) as discrete, time-invariant linear systems over semimodules, allows to: (1) express FA minimization and FA determinization as particula...
In this paper, we present a technique for determining tight bounds on the execution time of assembler programs. Thus, our method is independent of the design flow, but takes into...
Abstract. Church's Problem, stated fifty years ago, asks for a finitestate machine that realizes the transformation of an infinite sequence into an infinite sequence such tha...
: We investigate weighted finite automata over strings and strong bimonoids. Such algebraic structures satisfy the same laws as semirings except that no distributivity laws need t...
