Creating an Exclusive Or from two Deterministic Finite Automatons (Deterministic Finite-State Machines)

Two DFAs (Deterministic Finite Automaton or Deterministic Fininte-State Machines - Which will be called DFAs from here on) Defined over the set DFA 1: L1 = {Q1, E, D1, s1, F} DFA 2: L2 = {Q2, E, D2, s2, F} Q is the list of states. Ex 1, 2, 3, 4 or a, b, c, d E is the the language Ex. 0, 1 D is the transition set Ex. {(a,0,b)} state a ...

Levenshtein DFA in .NET

Good afternoon, Does anyone know of an "out-of-the-box" implementation of Levenshtein DFA (deterministic finite automata) in .NET (or easily translatable to it)? I have a very big dictionary with more than 160000 different words, and I want to, given an inicial word w, find all known words at Levenshtein distance at most 2 of w in an ef...

DFA vs NFA engines, what is the difference in their capabilities and limitations?

Look for a non-technical explanation of the difference between DFA vs NFA engines based on their capabilities and limitations. Thanks! ...

Automated FSM for C

I am looking for a automated finite state machine generator for C? I have seen a few over the internet but unable to decide which one to use. If anybody worked with any such tool then help me to find the right one. Thanks, Ravi Gupta ...

Simple Formal Language and Automata question

Hi there, I know this question is really stupid but I would really appreciate it if someone can help me out. Q: When you are proving a language is decidable, what are you effectively doing? Thank you ...

Construct a DFA for the following language: all strings that have at least three 0s and at most two 1s.

Hello, I am to construct a DFA from the intersection of two simpler DFAs. The first simpler DFA recognizes languages of all strings that have at least three 0s, and the second simpler language DFA recognizes languages of strings of at most two 1s. The alphabet is (0,1). I'm not sure how to construct a larger DFA combining the two. T...

Visualize a XML defined finite state machine

I want to know tools which can visualize the state transitions in a Finite state machine defined in XML. It would be helpful if it can generate animations for the transitions ...
