Weighted automata extend classical finite automata by assigning weights, typically drawn from algebraic structures such as semirings, to transitions. This quantitative enhancement enables the analysis ...

Automata theory and temporal logic together form a foundational pillar in the design and analysis of data processing systems. At its core, automata theory provides abstract models—ranging from finite ...
