Generating Shortest Synchronizing Sequences using Answer Set Programming
For a finite state automaton, a synchronizing sequence is an input sequence that takes all the states to the same state. Checking the existence of a synchronizing sequence and finding a synchronizing sequence, if one exists, can be performed in polynomial time. However, the problem of finding a shortest synchronizing sequence is known to be NP-hard. In this work, the usefulness of Answer Set Programming to solve this optimization problem is investigated, in comparison with brute-force algorithms and SAT-based approaches. Keywords: finite automata, shortest synchronizing sequence, ASP
