context.cerny(n)

Create the Černý automaton with $n$ states.

Preconditions:

  • the labelset is free
  • the labelset has at least two generators

The Černý automata are $n$-states DFA defined by the following transition function:

$$\delta(s, l) = \begin{cases} (q + 1)~\text{mod}~n & \text{if}~l = a\\ q & \text{if}~l = b \wedge q \neq n - 1\\ 0 & \text{if}~l = b \wedge q = n - 1\\ \end{cases}$$

where $a$ and $b$ denote two letters of the labelsets.
