Theory of computation : How to Minimize a DFA by finding equivalent method: Example1 | TOC | Lect 15

In this lecture, we explore why DFA minimization is important and how to minimize a Deterministic Finite Automaton (DFA) using the equivalence method with a step-by-step approach.

🔹 What You’ll Learn:
✅ Why Minimize a DFA?
🔸 Reducing the number of states while maintaining language recognition.
🔸 Optimizing computational efficiency in automata-based applications.

🔸 Step 1: Identify and remove unreachable states.
🔸 Step 2: Find equivalent states using the partitioning method.
🔸 Step 3: Merge equivalent states to obtain the minimal DFA.
✅ Minimization by Finding Equivalent States:
🔸 Using state equivalence to merge redundant states.
🔸 Constructing a DFA minimization table to identify partitions.
✅ Practical Example & Execution:
🔸 Applying the method to a given DFA and deriving the minimized DFA.
✅ Final Conclusion:
🔸 Understanding how DFA minimization improves efficiency.
