In the theory of computation, a branch of theoretical computer science, a deterministic finite automaton (DFA)—also known as deterministic finite acceptor (DFA), deterministic finite-state machine (DFSM), or deterministic finite-state automaton (DFSA)—is a finite-state machine that accepts or rejects a given string of symbols, by running ...
The state of a deterministic finite automaton = (,,,,) is unreachable if no string in exists for which = (,).In this definition, is the set of states, is the set of input symbols, is the transition function (mapping a state and an input symbol to a set of states), is its extension to strings (also known as extended transition function), is the initial state, and is the set of accepting (also ...
Brzozowski's algorithm for DFA minimization uses the powerset construction, twice. It converts the input DFA into an NFA for the reverse language, by reversing all its arrows and exchanging the roles of initial and accepting states, converts the NFA back into a DFA using the powerset construction, and then repeats its process.
At each step of the simulation, the active set of NFA states forms a new DFA state. If the new state is identical to an existing DFA state, it is discarded and replaced with the existing one, and the current branch of simulation terminates. Otherwise the new state is added to the growing set of DFA states and simulation from this state continues.

The Pittsburgh Pirates cut first baseman Rowdy Tellez with six games left in the MLB regular season.. Normally, this move wouldn't mean much. However, Tellez was just four plate appearances shy of ...
Aden Holloway made eight 3-pointers and scored 26 points off the bench, and No. Alabama overwhelmed South Dakota State with 19 made 3-pointers in a 105-82 victory on Sunday. Labaron Philon added ...
A two-way deterministic finite automaton (2DFA) is an abstract machine, a generalized version of the deterministic finite automaton (DFA) which can revisit characters already processed. As in a DFA, there are a finite number of states with transitions between them based on the current character, but each transition is also labelled with a value ...
