Abstract

We present a novel approach to the synchronization problem. It is a well-known fact that a problem of finding minimal (or: the shortest) synchronizing word (MSW) for a given synchronizing automaton is NP-complete. In this paper we present the genetic algorithm which tries, for a given automaton, to find possibly short word that synchronizes it. We use a modified version of a classical simple genetic algorithm (SGA).
