TLDR
In this paper, the authors study three natural problems concerning words giving certain preimages. And they conclude with a summary of the complexities in all combinations of the cases, including variants where the length of the word is upper bounded, where the size of the given subset is restricted, and where the automaton is strongly connected, synchronizing, or binary.

Constrained Synchronization and Subset Synchronization Problems for Weakly Acyclic Automata

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated the constrained synchronization problem for weakly acyclic input automata and gave a classification of realizable complexities for constraint automata with at most two states and over a ternary alphabet.

Constrained Synchronization and Subset Synchronization Problems for Weakly Acyclic Automata

TL;DR: In this paper, the constrained synchronization problem for weakly acyclic input automata was investigated and it was shown that the problem is always in polynomial time solvable.

Синхронизация конечных автоматов

TL;DR: In this article , the authors propose an approach to deal with the problem of the lack of a sufficient number of translational data points in the context of data mining. But this approach is limited to the following:

Some Results Concerning Careful Synchronization of Partial Automata and Subset Synchronization of DFA's

Jakub Ruszil
TL;DR: In this article , the authors presented a family of partial automata that achieved a subexponential length of the shortest carefully synchronizing words using 2.9n + 2.2π letters.

Depth-First Search and Linear Graph Algorithms

TL;DR: The value of depth-first search or “backtracking” as a technique for solving problems is illustrated by two examples of an improved version of an algorithm for finding the strongly connected components of a directed graph.

Lower bounds for natural proof systems

Dexter Kozen
TL;DR: A lower space bound of n/log(n) is shown for the proof system for the PTIME complete theory and a lower length bound of 2cn/log('n'): length of polynomial space for the PSPACE complete theory.

Reset sequences for monotonic automata

TL;DR: A new algorithm based on breadth-first search is presented that runs in faster asymptotic time than Natarajan’s algorithms, and in addition finds the shortest possible reset sequence if such a sequence exists.

DNA molecule provides a computing machine with both data and fuel

TL;DR: It is shown that a single DNA molecule can provide both the input data and all of the necessary fuel for a molecular automaton, which can, in principle, process any input molecule of any length without external energy supply.
