DETECTING FICTITIOUS STATES IN A ∑-AUTOMATON SYNTHESIZED
FROM THE SPECIFICATION IN THE LANGUAGE LP

Abstract. Synthesis of a deterministic ∑-automaton specified in the language LP consists in the execution of two consecutive procedures. The first one constructs the automaton that has a subautomaton, which is identical to the specified automaton, and the other deletes the states that do not belong to this subautomaton. Such states are called fictitious. The method for detecting fictitious states is considered. The obtained results allow reducing detection of fictitious states to finding so-called basic cycles and eventually to checking the membership of a periodic –ω -word in some –ω -regular set .

Keywords: ∑-automaton, fictitious state, initial strongly connected subautomaton, normal form, –ω -regular set, basic cycle .
