Synthesizing Finite State Machines for Minimum Length Synchronizing Sequence Using Partial Scan
FTCS '95: Proceedings of the Twenty-Fifth International Symposium on Fault-Tolerant Computing

Abstract: The goal is to synthesize an FSM with the objective to minimize the number of scanned flip-flops while requiring a minimum number of system clocks to reach the synchronizable state. An algorithm for selecting state variables for scanning while ...
Generalized commutativity of intuitionistic fuzzy finite state machine

Concepts of generalized commutative intuitionistic fuzzy finite state machines and generalized switching intuitionistic fuzzy finite state machines are proposed in this paper, and properties of these two kinds of intuitionistic fuzzy finite state ...
Lattice-valued finite state machines and lattice-valued transformation semigroups

This paper provides a generalization of known results about fuzzy finite state machines, fuzzy transformation semigroups and their relationship by broading the truth values domain from the interval [0,1] to a complete lattice endowed with a t-norm and a ...
