Commercial distribution, printing, or reproduction without the. Weak minimization of dfa an algorithm and applications. Minimization of dfa using equivalence theorem step01. The process of reducing a given dfa to its minimal form is called as minimization of dfa. Implementation and application of automata pp 226238. Suppose there is a dfa d which recognizes a language l. Muchnick, advanced compiler design and implementation, morgan kaufmann publishers. A dead state is a nonfinal state of a dfa whose transitions on every input symbol terminates on itself. We also consider updating a minimal automaton when a word is added or removed from the set it recognizes. Minimisation of dfa is the procedure through which we can obtain minimized dfa which consists of a minimum number of states. For example, q is a dead state if q is in q f, and. Minimization of dfa is a process of reducing a given dfa to its minimal form called minimal dfa.

A compiler needs to collect information about all the data objects that appear in the source program. Finite automata fa are one of the most robust machines for modelling discrete. Unreachable states are the states that are not reachable from the initial state of the dfa, for any input. Dfa minimization is a central problem in algorithm design and is.
