TLDR
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

Most Complex Regular Ideal Languages

TL;DR: In this article, it was shown that for right, left, and two-sided regular ideals, there exist sequences of regular ideals with quotient complexity (state complexity) (i.e., the size of the syntactic semigroup, the quotient complexities of the left quotients of a language, the number of atoms (intersections of complemented and uncomplemented left quotient), and the quotieness of the atoms), such that the language is most complex in its class under the following measures of complexity.

Minimization and Canonization of GFG Transition-Based Automata

TL;DR: In this paper , a polynomial minimization algorithm for GFG co-Buchi word automata with transition-based acceptance is presented, where a run is accepted if it traverses a set of designated transitions only finitely often.

Representation of regular formal languages.

Aslam. Safla
TL;DR: This dissertation presents three different approaches to representing Regular Formal languages, i.e., regular expressions, finite acceptors and regular grammars, and defines how each method is used to represent the language.

NFA reduction via hypergraph vertex cover approximation

Timothy Ng
TL;DR: An algorithm for approximating vertex cover on k-partite k-uniform hypergraphs based on a theorem by Lovász is introduced and the use of fractional cover algorithms to improve the running time at the expense of a small increase in the approximation ratio is explored.

A Myhill-Nerode theorem for register automata and symbolic trace languages

TL;DR: In this paper , the authors propose a new symbolic trace semantics for register automata (extended finite state machines) which records both the sequence of input symbols that occur during a run as well as the constraints on input parameters that are imposed by this run.
