Summary AI-generated

TL;DR
We propose a new algorithm for state reduction in incompletely specified finite state machines that avoids enumerating compatible sets, making its performance independent of the number of prime compatibles.
Problem
Traditional approaches to state reduction rely on enumerating compatible sets, which can become inefficient or intractable on hard problems.
Method
We introduce a new algorithm for state reduction in incompletely specified finite state machines that does not rely on the enumeration of compatible sets.
Results
We present results showing that the proposed algorithm is much more efficient than both explicit and implicit approaches based on compatible set enumeration on a set of hard problems.
Contributions
We propose a new algorithm for state reduction and prove that it is exact.

Abstract

We propose a new rdgorithm to the problem of state reduction in incompletely specified finite state machines. ~is algorithm is not based on the enumeration of compatible sets, and, therefore, its performance is not dependent on the number of prime compatibles. We prove that the algorithm is exact and present results that show that, in a set of hard problems, it is much more efficient than both the explicit and implicit approaches based on the enumeration of compatible sets.
