Question bank solution unit 1 introduction to finite automata. May 15, 2016 discrete mathematics finite state machines examples. Finite state automata the string 1 is in the language because the transition m1 makes from the start state after reading 1 is to state s1, which is an accepting state. The algebraic approach to automata theory relies mostly on semigroup theory, a branch of algebra which is usually not part of the standard background of a student in mathematics or in computer science.
