Content

In this lecture of theoretical computer science, we extend concepts and results of the undergraduate course on automata theory. These results can be used for information processing and system construction/analysis.

The following topics are covered in the course:

  • simulation, bisimulation and efficient minimization of automata
  • algorithmic learning in the context of automata theory
  • weighted automata and probabilistic automata
  • automata and second order logic
  • pushdown systems
  • undecidable problems in automata theory
  • petri nets

Most of the topics are covered in the old script.

Previous Knowledge

Knowledge of automata theory as presented in basic courses is required for participation.

 

Organization

Lecture will be held in English.

Lecturer

Wolfgang Thomas
