论文摘要
我们基于将其通常的状态转移图形表示作为字符串图的二维语法,开发出有限状态自动机的完全示意方法。在这种情况下,我们能够为语言等价提供完整的方程理论,并具有两个显着的特征。首先,提出的公理化是有限的。其次,克莱恩之星是一个衍生的概念,因为它可以分解为更原始的代数块。
We develop a fully diagrammatic approach to finite-state automata, based on reinterpreting their usual state-transition graphical representation as a two-dimensional syntax of string diagrams. In this setting, we are able to provide a complete equational theory for language equivalence, with two notable features. First, the proposed axiomatisation is finite. Second, the Kleene star is a derived concept, as it can be decomposed into more primitive algebraic blocks.
