A deterministic finite automaton (DFA) is composite if its language can be decomposed into an intersection of languages of smaller DFAs. Otherwise, A is prime. This notion of primality was introduced by Kupferman and Mosheiff in 2013, and…

A DFA separates two disjoint languages $L_1$ and $L_2$ if it accepts every word in $L_1$ and rejects every word in $L_2$. Algorithms for active learning of small separating DFAs have many applications, e.g., for learning network invariants,…
