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

Lower bounds for the state complexity of probabilistic languages and the language of prime numbers

TL;DR: It is proved that probabilistic languages can have arbitrarily high deterministic state complexity and a lower bound technique relying on boundedly generated lattices of languages is devised, stating that there are languages of arbitrarily high polynomial alternating state complexity.

Certifying Inexpressibility

TL;DR: In this article, a game between Prover and Refuter is considered to decide whether a given language can be expressed by an automaton of a desired class, and a winning strategy for Refuter can serve as a simple and easy-tounderstand certificate to inexpressibility.

Good Old Fashioned Automata Theory and the Agents World.

Leona F. Fass
TL;DR: This work establishes that if a goal can be realized by a configuration of Web-dwelling agents then a distinguished Manager Agent, with suitable Local Closed World knowledge of agents’ properties, may apply automata-based reasoning algorithms, selecting and configuring agents into a realizing device.

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.

Recognition of the factors of a finite language in a linear time text

TL;DR: In this paper, Blumer et al. introduce a transducteur (L) which reconnait tous les facteurs d'un langage fini L and place chacun d'eux comme facteur d'one of the mots of L. The construction of L is given in O(L √ lgmax) logarithm.

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.
