Abstract

Let (x"t) be an n-periodic sequence in which the first n elements are drawn i.i.d.according to some rational distribution. We prove there exists a constant C such that whenever mlnm=Cn, with probability close to 1, there exists an automaton of size m that matches the sequence at almost all stages.
