Abstract

Fuzzy multiset finite automata represent fuzzy version of finite automata working over multisets. Description of these automata can be simplified to such a form where transition relation is bivalent and only the final states form a fuzzy set. In this paper it is proved that the simplified form preserves computational power of the automata and way of how to perform the corresponding transformation is described.

Notes

  1. 1.

    Unfortunately, this is not accompanied by necessary demand of finite support of the fuzzy relation. However omission of this condition would cause invalidity of Theorems 4.2 and 5.2 in [16].
