Скачать или смотреть A Weird Way to Minimize Deterministic Finite Automata

Here we give a strange way to minimize DFAs, which only involves 4 steps: reverse the DFA (which makes an NFA), convert it to a DFA (keeping only "necessary" states), and then do those two steps again! It's a very elegant and simple way to minimize DFAs. We do an example as well as a proof of why it works.

What is a nondeterministic finite automaton (NFA)? It is a finite state machine, with "states" and transitions between them, allowing choices as compared to a deterministic FA. See    • What is an Nondeterministic Finite Automat...   for more details.
