Abstract

In this paper, we have considered the state minimization problem for Deterministic Finite Automata (DFA). An efficient parallel algorithm for solving the problem on an arbitrary CRCW PRAM has been proposed. For n number of states and k number of inputs in 驴 of the DFA to be minimized, the algorithm runs in O(kn log n) time and uses O(n / log n) processors.
