Abstract
We define a model of advised computation by finite automata where the advice is provided on a separate tape. We consider several variants of the model where the advice is deterministic or randomized, the input tape head is allowed real-time, one-way, or two-way access, and the automaton is classical or quantum. We prove several separation results among these variants, demonstrate an infinite hierarchy of language classes recognized by automata with increasing advice lengths, and establish the relationships between this and the previously studied ways of providing advice to finite automata.

Determinism and Nondeterminism in Finite Automata with Advice

TL;DR: This work considers the model of finite automata with advice introduced by Kucuk et al. and shows that there are languages, in particular the language of palindromes, that cannot be recognized by \(\text {DFA}\) regardless of the size of advice.

Advice hierarchies among finite automata

TL;DR: In this paper , the authors examine the effects of supplying increasing amounts of trusted advice to a finite automaton, and demonstrate the existence of language hierarchies based on advice length, runtime, and advice tapes.

Randomization in Non-Uniform Finite Automata.

TL;DR: It is shown that for unlimited advice, randomization is strictly stronger than determinism, and strictly weaker than non-determinism, but when the advice is restricted to polynomial length, the landscape changes: the expressive power of determinism and randomization does not change, but the power of non-Determinism is reduced to the extent that it becomes incomparable with randomization.

On the power of quantum finite state automata

TL;DR: It is proved that the class of languages recognizing by linear time, bounded error 2qfa's properly includes the regular languages, and 1-way and 2-way quantum finite state automata are introduced, which are the quantum analogues of deterministic, nondeterministic and probabilistic 1- way and2-way finite state Automata.

The reduction of two-way automata to one-way automata

TL;DR: Rabin has proved that two-way finite automata, which are allowed to move in both directions along their input tape, are equivalent to one-way automata as far as the classification of input tapes is concerned.

TL;DR: It turns out that these automata are equal in power to their probabilistic counterparts, and this fact does not change when the QFA model is augmented to allow general measurements and mixed states.

Finite state verifiers I: the power of interaction

TL;DR: An investigation of interactive proof systems (IPSs) where the verifier is a 2-way probabilistic finite state automaton (2pfa) is initiated, and it is shown that IPSs with verifiers in the latter class are as powerful as IPSs where verifiers are polynomial-time Probabilistic Turing machines.
