✦ Synopsis

Intended as a text for advanced undergraduates or first-year graduate students, this work is an introduction to the theory of automata. The author concentrates on basic theoretical concepts, for example, in machine characterization, transition matrices, state and machine equivalence, fault identification, etc. The book is largely based on work done since the 1954 publication in this JOURNAL of the Huffman paper on "The Synthesis of Sequential Switching Circuits"--which marked the beginning of the breakthrough in this field. The present work emphasizes analysis, not synthesis. The seven chapters cover: The Basic Model; Transition Tables, Diagrams, and Matrices; Equivalence and Machine Minimization; State Identification Experiments; Machine Identification Experiments; Finite-Memory Machine; and Input-Restricted Machines. Specialists such as electronics engineers and applied mathematicians in the field of control, communications engineers, and those working with digital computers will find this text of use.
