TLDR
A new model of one-way reversible finite automata inspired by the Watson–Crick complementarity relation is introduced and it is shown that the model can accept all regular languages.
Abstract
Since 1970, reversible finite automata have generated interest among researcher; but till now, we have not come across a model of reversible read only one-way finite automata which accept all regular languages, In this paper, we introduce a new model of one-way reversible finite automata inspired by the Watson---Crick complementarity relation and show that our model can accept all regular languages. We further show that our model accepts a language which is not accepted by any multi-head deterministic finite automaton.

Watson–Crick quantum finite automata

TL;DR: The non-injective complementarity relation of Watson–Crick automata introduces non-determinism in the quantum model and it is shown that this introduction of non-Determinism increases the computational power of one-way quantum finite automata significantly.

On the power of quantum finite state automata

TL;DR: It is proved that the class of languages recognizing by linear time, bounded error 2qfa's properly includes the regular languages, and 1-way and 2-way quantum finite state automata are introduced, which are the quantum analogues of deterministic, nondeterministic and probabilistic 1- way and2-way finite state Automata.

The state complexities of some basic operations on regular languages

TL;DR: It is shown that the number of states that is sufficient and necessary in the worst case for a deterministic finite automaton (DFA) to accept the catenation of an m-state DFA language and an n-stateDFA language is exactly m2n − 2n − 1, for m, n ⩾ 1.
