On a group-matrix type automaton with output

01 Sep 1986-Acta Mathematica Hungarica (Kluwer Academic Publishers)-Vol. 48, Iss: 3, pp 347-352

TL;DR: A new type of representation of a strongly connetted group-matrix type automaton of order n on G with output or an (n, O)automaton with output is introduced.

AbstractIn this paper some results of [6] are extended for a strongly connected groupmatrix type automaton with output. A new type of representation of a strongly connetted group-matrix type automaton of order n on G with output or an (n, O)automaton with output is introduced. Using this representation we prove some important results on automorphism groups of a strongly connected (n, G)-automaton with output and also on a strongly connected abelian (n, G)-automaton with output.

TL;DR: For a certain class of automata a necessary and sufficient condition, in terms of the group of the automaton, is given for insuring that an automaton can be represented as a direct product.
Abstract: This paper persues a discussion of certain algebraic properties of automata and their relationship to the structure (i.e., properties of the next state function) of automata. The device which is used for this study is the association of a group with each automaton. We introduce functions on automata and study the group of an automaton, a representation for the group elements and the direct product of automata. Finally, for a certain class of automata a necessary and sufficient condition, in terms of the group of the automaton, is given for insuring that an automaton can be represented as a direct product.

TL;DR: An investigation is presented which continues the work of Fleck and Weeg concerning the relationships between the equivalence classes of inputs and the group of automorphisms of a finite automaton and the principal result is that if for each state of a strongly connected automaton there exists a subset of the set of equiwfience classes of the input semigroup which constitute t~ group.
Abstract: An investigation is presented which continues the work of Fleck and Weeg concerning the relationships between the equivalence classes of inputs and the group of automorphisms of a finite automaton. The principal result is that if for each state of a strongly connected automaton there exists a subset of the set of equiwfience classes of the input semigroup which constitute t~ group, then this group is isomorphic to a group of automorphisms of the automaton. The relationship between subautomata and subgroups of the group of autoraorphisms is also studied.

TL;DR: The structure of automata is investigated using the concept of the automorphism group and the investigations about strongly connected automata are extended to cyclic (Oehmke) and normal automata.
Abstract: In this paper the structure of automata is investigated using the concept of the automorphism group. The investigations about strongly connected automata are extended to cyclic (Oehmke) and normal automata. The set of states is divided into equivalence classes of strongly connected subsets (SCEC). In the set of all SCEC we explain a partial ordering whose minimal elements are called sourceclasses. If there is only one source-classe, the automaton is called cyclic. If each automorphism maps every SCEC onto itself, then the automaton is said to be normal. We generalize some results ofA. Fleck [1]. In some cases we restrict ourselves to Abelian automata.
