Aperiodic finite state automaton
- Aperiodic finite state automaton
An aperiodic finite-state automaton is a finite-state automaton whose transition monoid is aperiodic.
Properties
A regular language is star-free if and only if it is accepted by an automaton with a finite and aperiodic transition monoid. This celebrated result of algebraic automata theory is due to Marcel-Paul Schützenberger[Schützenberger, Marcel-Paul, "On finite monoids having only trivial subgroups," "Information and Control", Vol 8 No. 2, pp. 190-194, 1965.] .]An aperiodic automaton satisfies the Cerny conjecture[Trahtman. "The Cerny conjecture for aperiodic automata," "Discrete Mathematics and Theoretical Computer Science," Vol 9 No. 2, pp. 133-138, 2007.] .]References
