The figure illustrates a deterministic finite automaton using a state diagram. In this example automaton, there are three states: S 0, S 1, and S 2 (denoted graphically by circles). The automaton takes a finite sequence of 0s and 1s as input. For each state, there is a transition arrow leading out to a next state for both 0 and 1.
A finite-state machine (FSM) or finite-state automaton (FSA, plural: automata), finite automaton, or simply a state machine, is a mathematical model of computation.It is an abstract machine that can be in exactly one of a finite number of states at any given time.
It compiles declarative regular expression specifications to deterministic finite automata. Originally written by Peter Bumbulis and described in his paper, [1] re2c was put in public domain and has been since maintained by volunteers. [3] It is the lexer generator adopted by projects such as PHP, [4] SpamAssassin, [5] Ninja build system [6] and
In mathematics, an automatic group is a finitely generated group equipped with several finite-state automata.These automata represent the Cayley graph of the group. That is, they can tell whether a given word representation of a group element is in a "canonical form" and can tell whether two elements given in canonical words differ by a generator.
Nondeterministic finite automaton with ε-moves (NFA-ε) is a further generalization to NFA. In this kind of automaton, the transition function is additionally defined on the empty string ε. A transition without consuming an input symbol is called an ε-transition and is represented in state diagrams by an arrow labeled "ε". ε-transitions ...
When the input and output alphabet are both Σ, one can also associate to a Mealy automata a Helix directed graph [clarification needed] (S × Σ, (x, i) → (T(x, i), G(x, i))). [2] This graph has as vertices the couples of state and letters, each node is of out-degree one, and the successor of ( x , i ) is the next state of the automata and ...

Foma is a free and open source finite-state toolkit created and maintained by Mans Hulden.It includes a compiler, programming language, and C library for constructing finite-state automata and transducers (FST's) for various uses, most typically Natural Language Processing uses such as morphological analysis.
