Simulation vs. Equivalence
نویسندگان
چکیده
For several semirings S, two weighted finite automata with multiplicities in S are equivalent if and only if they can be connected by a chain of simulations. Such a semiring S is called “proper”. It is known that the Boolean semiring, the semiring of natural numbers, the ring of integers, all finite commutative positively ordered semirings and all fields are proper. The semiring S is Noetherian if every subsemimodule of a finitely generated S-semimodule is finitely generated. First, it is shown that all Noetherian semirings and thus all commutative rings and all finite semirings are proper. Second, the tropical semiring is shown not to be proper. So far there has not been any example of a semiring that is not proper.

The purpose of present paper is simulation a direct injection stratified charge natural gas engine. The KIVA-3V code was used for gaseous fuel injection simulation. Compression and expansion stroke of engine cycle is simulated using KIVA-3V code. In cylinder fuel equivalence ratio distribution criterion is used for studying mesh independency. The results show that 550000 cells number is suff...
متن کاملEquivalence Relations of Mealy Automata
Two independent equivalence relations are considered for Mealy automata. Simulation equivalence, on the one hand, arises from a new multi-step simulation concept under the constraint that the process of switching from one automaton to the other is reversible. Retiming equivalence, on the other hand, is the congruence induced by the so called sliding axiom in the monoidal category of automata. I...

متن کاملPartial Observation in Distributed Supervisory Control of Discrete-Event Systems
Distributed supervisory control is a method to synthesize local controllers in discrete-eventsystems with a systematic observation of the plant. Some works were reported on extending this methodby which local controllers are constructed so that observation properties are preserved from monolithic todistributed supervisory control, in an up-down approach. In this paper, we find circumstances in ...
