Abstract. We study bisimulation and minimization for weighted automata, relying on a geometrical representation of the model, linear weighted automata (lwa). In a lwa, the state-sp...
An attractive mechanism to specify global constraints in rostering and other domains is via formal languages. For instance, the REGULAR and GRAMMAR constraints specify constraints ...
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...
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...
We have implemented a package that transforms concise algebraic descriptions of linear block codes into finite automata representations, and also generates decoders from such repre...
