Topic: Non deterministic finite automaton

	Finite state machine
		A finite state machine (FSM) or finite state automaton (FSA) is an abstract machine used in the study of computation and languages that has only a finite, constant amount of memory (the state).
		Finite automata may operate on languages of finite words (the standard case), infinite words (Rabin automata, Büchi automata[?]), or various types of trees (tree automata), to name the most important cases.
		Apart from theory, finite state machines occur also in hardware circuits, where the input, the state and the output are bit vectors of fixed size (Moore and Mealy machines).

	Finite state machine - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A finite state machine (FSM) or finite automaton is a model of behavior composed of states, transitions and actions.
		In addition to their use in modeling reactive systems presented here, finite state automata are significant in many different areas, including linguistics, computer science, philosophy, biology, mathematics, and logic.
		Finite state machines are one type of the automata studied in automata theory and the theory of computation.

		Furthermore, it is a straight-forward process to generate an NDFA for any regular grammar.
		Actual operation of an NDFA is generally intractable, but there is a simple process to transform any NDFA into a DFA, the operation of which is very tractable.

	Non-deterministic Turing machine - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In theoretical computer science, a non-deterministic Turing machine (NTM) is a Turing machine whose control mechanism works like a non-deterministic finite automaton.
		An ordinary (deterministic) Turing machine (DTM) has a transition function that, for a given state and symbol under the tape head, specifies three things: the symbol to be written to the tape, the direction (left or right) in which the head should move, and the subsequent state of the finite control.
		For example, an X on the tape in state 3 might make the DTM write a Y on the tape, move the head one position to the right, and switch to state 5.

	PlanetMath: non-deterministic pushdown automaton
		A non-deterministic pushdown automaton (or PDA) is a variation on the idea of a non-deterministic finite automaton (NDFA).
		Like an NDFA, a PDA can be presented visually as a directed graph.
		This is version 4 of non-deterministic pushdown automaton, born on 2002-02-24, modified 2003-07-25.

	SEM1A5 - Part 2 - Issues in implementation and adequacy for Finite State Automata (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-25)
		The Finite State Automata used in this part of the course have been deliberately built to be deterministic in recognition.
		Finite State Automata that are non-deterministic in recognition have two or more arcs with the same label emanating from a given state.
		A deterministic Finite State Automaton is likely (on average) to be faster than a non-deterministic Finite State Automaton because there are fewer arcs that can be traversed for any given input.

	Regular expression - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Regular expressions correspond to the type 3 grammars of the Chomsky hierarchy and may be used to describe a regular language.
		On the other hand, there is a simple mapping between regular expressions and nondeterministic finite automata (NFAs) that does not lead to such a blowup in size; for this reason NFAs are often used as alternative representations of regular expressions.
		It is possible to write an algorithm which for two given regular expressions decides whether the described languages are essentially equal, it reduces each expression to a minimal deterministic finite state automaton and determines whether they are isomorphic (equivalent).

		The parser is a stack (or pushdown) automaton, which is a finite automaton equipped with a stack of the nonterminals parsed so far.
		The automaton states are numbered (0 to 25 in this case) but their numbers have nothing to do with the grammar rule numbers above.
		If there is an automaton state such as #20 on top of the stack, then that state's transition table and the next input symbol determines the action.

	The Nature of Stuff (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-25)
		A Finite Automaton is a machine that accepts input and enters states as each new input symbol is read based in the previous state and the input symbol.
		A Deterministic Finite Automaton is one where each new symbol and the previous state uniquely determine one new state.
		Thus a Non-Deterministic Finite Automaton is identical to a Deterministic Finite Automaton with the appropriate re-mapping of states.

		In this paper, we outline the design of a non-deterministic finite state automaton (NFSA) for natural language morphology, and compare it to previous work in unsupervised learning of morphology.
		In Section 3, we present an alternative model which is a non-deterministic finite state automaton, distinguishing between convergent and divergent states, a difference that corresponds to inflectional versus derivational morphology and specify an MDL model based it.
		In Section 4, we review the ways in which a Patricia trie has been used by several authors as a bootstrap means for finding morphemes, and the final sections describe the ways in which we are focusing on obtaining layers of morphological structure.

	Non-Determistic Automata (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-25)
		An input sequence is accepted by such a Non-deterministic Finite State Automaton (NFSA) if any sequence of transitions, corresponding to the input sequence, leads from the start state to an accept state.
		Since there is at least one choice of transitions that lead it to an accept state on reading the last 'b', it accepts the string.
		In each of these cases, the language may be recognised by either a deterministic or a non-deterministic FSA.

		Extend the program to create a corresponding Deterministic Finite Automaton corresponding to the NFA from the first phase.
		Firstly, the finite set of strings on which the machine is to be built, e.g., {ab, abd, d, adc}, not regular expressions.
		Subsequently, your machine should run on a string (e.g., abc) and output "accept" or "reject." Intermediate phase of the project should output a transition function on a file.

		The following theorem proves that for every NFA there is an equivalent FA: Theorem For each non-deterministic finite automaton there is a deterministic finite automaton which accepts exactly the same language.

		It is an automaton designed to implement an effective or mechanical method of solving functions (determining the truth value of propositions).
		The emphasis was on finiteness: a finite number of instructions, a finite number of symbols in each instruction, a finite number of steps to the result.
		It seems that a probabilistic automaton which will deal with semi recursive functions will tackle the wavefunction without any discernible difficulties — but a new element must be introduced to account for the measurement and the resulting collapse.

		The two most basic informations about states are their finality (ie:inital and/or final, or none), a valid word being defined by the path between an initial and a final state.
		While all automata handle the same kind of operations (adding and removing states, setting transitions,...) their is some diferences depending on wether you assume that, from a given state and by a given label, you can reach one or more state.
		Technically: wether you are using a deterministic or a non deterministic automaton.
