nondeterministic finite automata
1Nondeterministic finite-state machine — In the theory of computation, a nondeterministic finite state machine or nondeterministic finite automaton (NFA) is a finite state machine where for each pair of state and input symbol there may be several possible next states. This distinguishes …
2Nondeterministic finite state machine — In the theory of computation, a nondeterministic finite state machine or nondeterministic finite automaton (NFA) is a finite state machine where for each pair of state and input symbol there may be several possible next states. This distinguishes …
3Automata theory — Automata is defined as a system where energy, information and material is transformed, transmitted and used for performing some function without the direct participation of man .In theoretical computer science, automata theory is the study of… …

5Finite state machine — A finite state machine (FSM) or finite state automaton (plural: automata ) or simply a state machine, is a model of behavior composed of a finite number of states, transitions between those states, and actions. A finite state machine is an… …
6Nondeterministic algorithm — In computer science, a nondeterministic algorithm is an algorithm that can exhibit different behaviors on different runs, as opposed to a deterministic algorithm. There are several ways an algorithm may behave differently from run to run. A… …
7Finite state transducer — A finite state transducer (FST) is a finite state machine with two tapes: an input tape and an output tape. This contrasts with an ordinary finite state automaton (or finite state acceptor), which has a single tape. OverviewAn automaton can be… …
8Deterministic finite-state machine — An example of a Deterministic Finite Automaton that accepts only binary numbers that are multiples of 3. The state S0 is both the start state and an accept state. In the theory of computation and automata theory, a deterministic finite state… …
9Garden of Eden (cellular automata) — In a cellular automaton, a Garden of Eden configuration is a configuration which cannot appear on the lattice after one time step, no matter what the initial configuration. In other words, these are the configurations with no predecessors.They… …
10Alternating finite automaton — In automata theory, an alternating finite automaton (AFA) is a nondeterministic finite automaton whose transitions are divided into existential and universal transitions. For example, let A be an alternating automaton.* For an existential… …
