Non-returning deterministic and nondeterministic finite automata with translucent letters
Here, we propose a variant of the nondeterministic finite automaton with translucent letters (NFAwtl), which, after reading and deleting a letter, does not return to the left end of its tape, but instead continues from the position of the letter just ...

Coalgebraic Automata Theory: Basic Results [PDF]
We generalize some of the central results in automata theory to the abstraction level of coalgebras and thus lay out the foundations of a universal theory of automata operating on infinite objects. Let F be any set functor that preserves weak pullbacks.

Algorithms for Converting Finite Automata Corresponding to Infinite Iterative Trees
In this paper, we work with some different variants of finite automata, each of which corresponds to an infinite iterative tree constructed for some given morphism.

A Program Study of the Union of Semilattices on a Set of Subsets of Grids of the Waterloo Language
Relevance. The relevance of the subject area under consideration is due to the need to study the set of regular languages, in particular to describe their various sub-classes. Also relevant are the tasks that may arise in some such subclasses.

Nondeterministic State Complexity for Suffix-Free Regular Languages [PDF]
We investigate the nondeterministic state complexity of basic operations for suffix-free regular languages. The nondeterministic state complexity of an operation is the number of states that are necessary and sufficient in the worst-case for a minimal ...

Descriptional Complexity of Non-Unary Self-Verifying Symmetric Difference Automata [PDF]
Previously, self-verifying symmetric difference automata were defined and a tight bound of 2^n-1-1 was shown for state complexity in the unary case. We now consider the non-unary case and show that, for every n at least 2, there is a regular language L_n

The Magic Number Problem for Subregular Language Families [PDF]
We investigate the magic number problem, that is, the question whether there exists a minimal n-state nondeterministic finite automaton (NFA) whose equivalent minimal deterministic finite automaton (DFA) has alpha states, for all n and alpha satisfying n

From Finite-Valued Nondeterministic Transducers to Deterministic Two-Tape Automata
The question whether P equals NP revolves around the discrepancy between active production and mere verification by Turing machines. In this paper, we examine the analogous problem for finite transducers and automata.

Alternating, private alternating, and quantum alternating realtime automata [PDF]
We present new results on realtime alternating, private alternating, and quantum alternating automaton models. Firstly, we show that the emptiness problem for alternating one-counter automata on unary alphabets is undecidable.
