Automata Theory Questions
Determinism in automata theory refers to the property of a finite automaton where for every input symbol, there is exactly one transition defined from each state. In other words, given the current state and an input symbol, the automaton will always transition to a unique next state. This deterministic behavior allows for unambiguous and predictable computation in automata. Deterministic automata are often represented by deterministic finite automata (DFAs) or deterministic pushdown automata (DPDAs).
