Abstract
We prove that a random automaton with states and any fixed non-singleton alphabet is synchronizing with high probability (modulo an unpublished result about unique highest trees of random graphs). Moreover, we also prove that the convergence rate is exactly as conjectured by [Cameron, 2011] for the most interesting binary alphabet case. Finally, we present a deterministic algorithm which decides whether a given random automaton is synchronizing in linear in expected time and prove that it is optimal.
