Alternating finite automaton : Even though AFA can accept exactly the regular languages, they are different from other types of finite automata in the succinctness of description, measured by the number of their states. Chandra et al. proved that converting an n -state AFA to an equivalent DFA requires 2 2 n states i... |
Alternating finite automaton : The membership problem asks, given an AFA A and a word w , whether A accepts w . This problem is P-complete.

Asymmetric numeral systems : Asymmetric numeral systems (ANS) is a family of entropy encoding methods introduced by Jarosław (Jarek) Duda from Jagiellonian University, used in data compression since 2014 due to improved performance compared to previous methods. ANS combines the compression ratio of arithmetic coding (w... |
Asymmetric numeral systems : Suppose a sequence of 1,000 zeros and ones would be encoded, which would take 1000 bits to store directly. However, if it is somehow known that it only contains 1 zero and 999 ones, it would be sufficient to encode the zero's position, which requires only ⌈ log 2 ( 1000 ) ⌉ ≈ 10 (1000)\rc... |
Asymmetric numeral systems : Imagine there is some information stored in a natural number x , for example as bit sequence of its binary expansion. To add information from a binary variable s , we can use coding function x ′ = C ( x , s ) = 2 x + s , which shifts all bits one position up, and place the new bit in the... |
Asymmetric numeral systems : As for Huffman coding, modifying the probability distribution of tANS is relatively costly, hence it is mainly used in static situations, usually with some Lempel–Ziv scheme (e.g. ZSTD, LZFSE). In this case, the file is divided into blocks - for each of them symbol frequencies are independe... |

Tagged Deterministic Finite Automaton : TDFA were first described by Ville Laurikari in 2000. Prior to that it was unknown whether it is possible to perform submatch extraction in one pass on a deterministic finite-state automaton, so this paper was an important advancement. Laurikari described TDFA construction and ga... |
Tagged Deterministic Finite Automaton : TDFA have the same basic structure as ordinary DFA: a finite set of states linked by transitions. In addition to that, TDFA have a fixed set of registers that hold tag values, and register operations on transitions that set or copy register values. The values may be scalar offset... |
Tagged Deterministic Finite Automaton : Canonical DFA solve the recognition problem in linear time. The same holds for TDFA, since the number of registers and register operations is fixed and depends only on the regular expression, but not on the length of input. The overhead on submatch extraction depends on tag densi... |
Tagged Deterministic Finite Automaton : TDFA construction is performed in a few steps. First, a regular expression is converted to a tagged nondeterministic finite automaton (TNFA).
