Comparisons Amongst Different Techniques for Conversion of Deterministic Finite Automata to Regular Expression
Main Article Content
Abstract
Regular expression is widely used in the field of computer science. For conversion of deterministic finite automata to regular
expression, several techniques like Transitive closure method, Brzozowski Algebraic method and state elimination method are proposed. None
of the proposed techniques is able to find the smallest regular expression. This paper investigates and compares different techniques for
converting deterministic finite automata to regular expression. Inclusion of bridge state method in state elimination method leads to smaller
regular expression as compared to other techniques.
