Generating Synchronizing Automata with Large Reset Lengths

Formal Languages and Automata Theory 2018-03-29 v4

Abstract

We study synchronizing automata with the shortest reset words of relatively large length. First, we refine the Frankl-Pin result on the length of the shortest words of rank mm, and the B\'eal, Berlinkov, Perrin, and Steinberg results on the length of the shortest reset words in one-cluster automata. The obtained results are useful in computation aimed in extending the class of small automata for which the \v{C}ern\'y conjecture is verified and discovering new automata with special properties regarding synchronization.
