Minimization of DFA questions | DFA Minimization | Partition method | Automata
Minimization of DFA examples using Partition Method or Equivalence Theorem: Minimization of DFA means reduction of states.If X & Y are two states in a DFA, we can combine these two states into single state {X,Y} if they are not distinguishable i.e. equivalent or indistinguishable. Two states are said to be indistinguishable or equivalent state if δ ( X , w) and δ (Y, w) are going to accepting /final states or going to non-accepting /non-final states.It is also called as State minimization. Symbolically this can be represented as 1. δ ( X , w) ∈ F and δ (Y, w) ∈ F OR 2. δ ( X , w) ∉ F and δ (Y, w) ∉ F Minimization of DFA steps/rules of minimization of DFA in automata: Minimization of DFA questions or problems using partition method can be solved by following steps(How to do minimization of DFA): Step1: Try to delete all the states to which we cannot reach from initial state (unreachable state) Step2: Dra
