It is perhaps the most wellknown instance of an equivalence relation, which will be discussed later.
Draw a table with a box for every pair of states 2. Dfa minimisation is an important topic because it can be applied both theoretically and practically, in for instance compilers.

Dfa product simpli ication performing a dfa analysis. Partition the states into groups according to whether they are final states or not. The system is so created that when it gets into actual use, its rules, recommendation and examples can be continuously refilled. First the states are split into nal and non nal states as shown here now to partition the states further we repeatedly choose a set a from the current partition. A dead state is a nonfinal state of a dfa whose transitions on every input symbol terminates on itself. A finite automaton consists of a finite set of states, a set of transitions moves, one start state, and a set of final states accepting states. Dfamin an equivalent dfa with the minimum number of states. Two dfas are equivalent if and only if they accept the same set of strings.
