Theory of Computation
Theory of Computation. Instructor: Prof. Raghunath Tewari, Department of Computer Science and Engineering, IIT Kanpur. This is an introductory course on Theory of Computation intended for undergraduate students in computer science. In this course we will introduce various models of computation and study their power and limitations. We will also explore the properties of the corresponding language classes defined by these models and the relations between them. We will assume the student is comfortable in analytical reasoning and has preferably done a course on Data Structures and Algorithms. (from nptel.ac.in)
Lecture 14 - DFA Minimization |
Till now we have seen that there can be many DFAs corresponding to a regular language. In this lecture we will give an algorithm that allows us to compute a minimum equivalent DFA for a given DFA. We also see an example of this algorithm.
