THE SOLUTION TO THE STATE-ASSIGNMENT PROBLEM THROUGH THE USE OF THE ALGEBRAIC THEORY OF MACHINES.

Abstract

The report discusses the following: (A) Practical applications of the Algebraic Theory of Machines to such areas as: logical design (switching circuits and sequential state assignment problem), sequential decision theory, multiprocessing networks, computer design, Kalman filters, nonlinear prediction techniques, management evaluation systems, biology, and medicine. (B) The programming system, ALGEBRA, with which the manipulation of various basic algebraic objects could be performed and the extension of certain features of ALGEBRA in writing a new system (BATS) which is smaller, less general and faster than ALGEBRA. (C) Theoretical work involving combinatorial semigroups. (Author)
