Equivalence of Automata Automata Theory by ComputeNow - August 15, 20180 Equivalence of Automata Two automata A and B are said to be equivalent if both accept exactly the same set of input strings. Formally, if two automata A and B are equivalent then if there is a path from the start state of A to a final state of A labeled
Deterministic Finite Automata (DFA) Automata Theory by ComputeNow - August 13, 20180 Definition of Deterministic Finite Automata Deterministic Finite Automata (DFA) consists of 5 tuples {Q, ∑, q, F, δ}. Q : set of all states. ∑ : set of input symbols. ( Symbols which machine takes as input ) q : Initial state. ( Starting state of a machine ) F : set of final
Non Deterministic Finite Automata Automata Theory by ComputeNow - August 12, 20180 Non Deterministic Finite Automata (NDFA) If, for each pair of states and possible input chars, there is a unique next state (as specificed by the transitions), then the FA is deterministic (DFA). Otherwise, the FA is non deterministic finite automata (NDFA). What does it mean for an FA to have more than
