ALGEBRAIC THEORY OF AUTOMATA AND LANGUAGES
by Masami Ito (Kyoto Sangyo University, Japan)
Although there are some books dealing with algebraic theory of automata, their contents consist mainly of Krohn–Rhodes theory and related topics. The topics in the present book are rather different. For example, automorphism groups of automata and the partially ordered sets of automata are systematically discussed. Moreover, some operations on languages and special classes of regular languages associated with deterministic and nondeterministic directable automata are dealt with. The book is self-contained and hence does not require any knowledge of automata and formal languages.
Contents:
- Group-Matrix Type Automata
- General Automata
- Classes of Automata as
Posets
- Languages and Operations
- Shuffle Closed Languages
- Insertions and Deletions
- Shuffles and Scattered Deletions
- Directable Automata
Readership: Researchers, lecturers, senior undergraduates and graduate
students in theoretical computer science.
“This book is self-contained and very well-written; this concerns both the description of the goals and ideas as well as detailed proofs to the theorems.”
