On the Uniform Random Generation of Non Deterministic Automata Up to Isomorphism
In this paper we address the problem of the uniform random generation of non
deterministic automata (NFA) up to isomorphism. First, we show how to use a
Monte-Carlo approach to uniformly sample a NFA. Secondly, we show how to use
the Metropolis-Hastings Algorithm to uniformly generate NFAs up to isomorphism.
Using labeling techniques, we show that in practice it is possible to move into
the modified Markov Chain efficiently, allowing the random generation of NFAs
up to isomorphism with dozens of states. This general approach is also applied
to several interesting subclasses of NFAs (up to isomorphism), such as NFAs
having a unique initial states and a bounded output degree. Finally, we prove
that for these interesting subclasses of NFAs, moving into the Metropolis
Markov chain can be done in polynomial time. Promising experimental results
constitute a practical contribution.Comment: Frank Drewes. CIAA 2015, Aug 2015, Umea, Sweden. Springer, 9223,

Regular Expressions and Transducers over Alphabet-invariant and User-defined Labels
We are interested in regular expressions and transducers that represent word
relations in an alphabet-invariant way---for example, the set of all word pairs
u,v where v is a prefix of u independently of what the alphabet is. Current
software systems of formal language objects do not have a mechanism to define
such objects. We define transducers in which transition labels involve what we
call set specifications, some of which are alphabet invariant. In fact, we give
a more broad definition of automata-type objects, called labelled graphs, where
each transition label can be any string, as long as that string represents a
subset of a certain monoid. Then, the behaviour of the labelled graph is a
subset of that monoid. We do the same for regular expressions. We obtain
extensions of a few classic algorithmic constructions on ordinary regular
expressions and transducers at the broad level of labelled graphs and in such a
way that the computational efficiency of the extended constructions is not
sacrificed. For regular expressions with set specs we obtain the corresponding
partial derivative automata. For transducers with set specs we obtain further
algorithms that can be applied to questions about independent regular
languages, in particular the witness version of the independent property
