چکیده

Finite automata are considered in this paper a s instruments for classifying finite tapes. Each onetape automaton defines a set of tapes, a two-tape automaton defines a set of pairs of tapes, et cetera. The structure of the defined sets is studied. Various generalizations of the notion of an automaton are introduced and their relation to the classical automata is determined. Some decision problems concerning automata are shown to be solvable by effective algorithms; others turn out to be unsolvable by algorithms.

Reduction of Computational Complexity in Finite State Automata Explosion of Networked System Diagnosis (RESEARCH NOTE)

This research puts forward rough finite state automata which have been represented by two variants of BDD called ROBDD and ZBDD. The proposed structures have been used in networked system diagnosis and can overcome cominatorial explosion. In implementation the CUDD - Colorado University Decision Diagrams package is used. A mathematical proof for claimed complexity are provided which shows ZBDD ...

TREE AUTOMATA BASED ON COMPLETE RESIDUATED LATTICE-VALUED LOGIC: REDUCTION ALGORITHM AND DECISION PROBLEMS

In this paper, at first we define the concepts of response function and accessible states of a complete residuated lattice-valued (for simplicity we write $mathcal{L}$-valued) tree automaton with a threshold $c.$ Then, related to these concepts, we prove some lemmas and theorems that are applied in considering some decision problems such as finiteness-value and emptiness-value of recognizable t...

The Parameterized Complexity of Chosen Problems for Finite Automata on Trees

There are many decision problems in automata theory (including membership, emptiness, emptiness of intersection, inclusion and universality problems) that for some classes of tree automata are NP-hard. The study of their parameterized complexity allows us to find new bounds of their non-polynomial time algorithmic behaviors. We present results of such a study for classical tree automata (TA), r...

Multidimensional fuzzy finite tree automata

This paper introduces the notion of multidimensional fuzzy finite tree automata (MFFTA) and investigates its closure properties from the area of automata and language theory. MFFTA are a superclass of fuzzy tree automata whose behavior is generalized to adapt to multidimensional fuzzy sets. An MFFTA recognizes a multidimensional fuzzy tree language which is a regular tree language so that for e...

Problems on Finite Automata and the Exponential Time Hypothesis

We study several classical decision problems on finite automata under the (Strong) Exponential Time Hypothesis. We focus on three types of problems: universality, equivalence, and emptiness of intersection. All these problems are known to be CoNP-hard for nondeterministic finite automata, even when restricted to unary input alphabets. A different type of problems on finite automata relates to a...
