For a finite commutative ring with unit the authors determine which linear transformations M: RN—+RN can be realized by finite automata.
Abstract
Let R be a nonempty set, let N consist of all non-negative rational integers, and denote by RN the set of all functions on N to R. If R is a ring, a map M: R"—>P^ is linear if M(rxfx+r2f2)=rx(Mfx) +r2(Mf2) for rx, r2 in R, fx, f2 in RN. For a finite commutative ring with unit we determine which linear transformations M: RN—+RN can be realized by finite automata. More precisely, let A, B he finite nonempty sets. A map M: AN—>BN is an automaton transformation if there exists a finite set Q, maps Mq: A X£>—><2, Mb: A XQ-*B, elements h in B, q in Q such that corresponding to each/ in AN there exists an h in QN satisfying

Lectures on Controllability and Observability

TL;DR: The theory of controllability and observability has been developed, one might almost say reluctantly, in response to problems generated by technological science, especially in areas related to control, communication, and computers.

Combining Model Learning and Model Checking to Analyze TCP Implementations

TL;DR: This work uses model learning to infer models of different software components and then applies model checking to fully explore what may happen when these components interact.

From regular expressions to DFA's using compressed NFA's

TL;DR: This thesis exploits a method of program improvement in which costly repeated calculations can be avoided by establishing and maintaining program invariants by exploiting the method of symbolic finite differencing.

Inferring Finite-State Models with Temporal Constraints

TL;DR: This paper describes an extension of an existing state machine inference technique that accounts for temporal logic formulae, and encourages the addition of new formULae as the inference process converges on a solution.

Representation of Events in Nerve Nets and Finite Automata

S. C. Kleene
TL;DR: This memorandum is devoted to an elementary exposition of the problems and of results obtained on the McCulloch-Pitts nerve net during investigations in August 1951.
