Summary

Description	English: Shows the partially ordered set of automata accepting the strings 1, 10, and 100 (positive examples). Each automaton is obtained by factoring the trivial undergeneralization (bottom node; there also sketched as automaton) with respect to the equivalence shown on light red background, and is denoted as an equivalent regular expression (on light green background). For each of the negative examples 11, 1001, 101, and 0, the upper set of automata accepting it is shown. For the leftmost branch, automaton images are available at File:Quotient automaton a,b,c,d.gif (1+10+100), File:Quotient automaton a=b,c,d.gif (1^(ε+0+00)), File:Quotient automaton a=b,c=d.gif (1^0^), and File:Quotient automaton a=b=c=d.gif ((0+1)^). According to Dupont et al., 1994 the automata form a lattice. This is true when two automata are considered equal iff they are obtained as quotient by the same equivalence, the lattice being trivially isomorphic to that of all state set partitions (see e.g. File:Lattice of partitions of an order 4 set.svg). However, it is false when two automata are considered equal iff they accept the same language, as the current picture shows: the a=b and the b=c=d automaton have two upper bounds, viz. the a=b,c=d and the a=b=d automaton, but no least one. For those automata pairs that do have a join or meet, these operations needn't coincide with language union or intersection, respectively. For example, the string 1101 is neither accepted by the a=b=d nor by the a=c=d automaton, while their join, a=b=c=d accepts it. Dually, the empty string is accepted by both the a=b and the a=d automaton, but not by their meet a,b,c,d.

This computer science image could be re-created using vector graphics as an SVG file. This has several advantages; see Commons:Media for cleanup for more information. If an SVG form of this image is available, please upload it and afterwards replace this template with {{vector version available|new image name}}.

It is recommended to name the SVG file “Lattice of automata accepting 1, 10, and 100.svg”—then the template Vector version available (or Vva) does not need the new image name parameter.

Shell script to check language memberships of counter-examples

#!/bin/sh
# For each of the 11 regular expressions obtained from factoring the
# automaton for "1|10|100" in all possible ways, check which of the
# counter-example strings it accepts.
# An accepted string is replaced by the automaton name in the output.
# (Automata are named by the factoring equivalence relation on
# the state set {a,b,c,d}).
