2013
International Journal of Foundations of Computer Science
In this paper, we exhibit various classes of multitape automata which can(not) be converted to equivalent synchronized multitape automata. ...
In two recent papers, we looked at the problem of deciding, given an n-tape automaton of a given type, whether there exists an equivalent synchronized n-tape automaton of the same type. ...
Introduction Motivated by reachability analyses of string programs using multitrack finitestate automata [9], we recently introduced and studied multitape finite automata whose heads are k-synchronized ...

MEASUREMENT OF DISTANCE BETWEEN REGULAR EVENTS FOR MULTITAPE AUTOMATA BASED ON A NEW CHARACTERIZATION OF EQUIVALENCE CLASSES
2021
Proceedings of the YSU A: Physical and Mathematical Sciences
In this paper several problems related to the implementation of the method for the approximate calculation of distance between regular events for multitape finite automata are considered and resolved. ...
An algorithm of matching for the considered regular expressions is suggested and results of the algorithm application to some specific regular expressions are adduced. ...
The problem of equivalence for multitape finite automata is generally not solvable [1] , hence the problem of whether d H (E 1 , E 2 ) = 0 is not solvable. ...
