Abstract: : Natarajan reduced the problem of designing a certain type of mechanical parts orienter to that of finding reset sequences for monotonic deterministic finite automata. He gave algorithms that in polynomial time either find such sequences or prove that no such sequence exists. In this paper we present a new algorithm based on breadth first search that runs in faster asymptotic time than Natarajan's algorithms, and in addition finds the shortest possible reset sequence if such a sequence exists. ...

...is another problem for which parallel algorithms are hard to construct. In a subclass of automata known as monotonic automata, Eppstein [9] presented an NC algorithm that actually finds the shortest synchronizing sequence. Eppstein also presented an RNC algorithm for the...
.... a synchronizing sequence is fundamental in automata theory, with applications in hardware testing [RHO] and mechanical parts orientation [EPP], among others. A string x is said to be a synchronizing sequence for a determininstic nite automaton M if the state reached after...
