Lecture dfa state minimization by now you have probably come across several situations in which you have observed that some automaton could be simpli ed either by deleting states inaccessible from the start state or by collapsing states that were equivalent in some sense. While hopcrofts algorithm is the fastest known algorithm for dfa minimization, we show how, in the presence of symbolic alphabets, it can incur an exponential blowup. This is used as the root for dfs to eliminate unreachable states.
Hopcrofts algorithm for dfa minimization works by computing the equivalence classes of the states of the unminimized dfa. Unreachable states of a dfa are not reachable from the initial state of dfa on any possible input sequence. In this chapter, we introduce the theorem an present its proof. A dead state is a nonfinal state of a dfa whose transitions on every input symbol terminates on itself.
