Boolean automata are a generalization of finite automata in the sense that the 'next state'i i.e. the result of the transition function given a state and a letter, is not just a single state (deterministic automata) or a union of states (nondeterministic automata) but a boolean function of states. B
The paper studies classes of regular languages based on algebraic constraints imposed on transitions of automata and discusses issues related to speciΓΏcations of these classes from algebraic, computational and logical points of view.
Alternating ΓΏnite automata (AFA) provide a natural and succinct way to denote regular languages. We introduce a bit-wise representation of reversed AFA (r-AFA) transition functions and describe an e cient implementation method for r-AFA and their operations using this representation. Experiments hav
We state and prove an inΓΏnite alphabet counterpart of the classical Myhill-Nerode theorem.
