Problem
I have a question regarding counting DFAs:
Given a
I believe this is a combinatorics problem, but I am not really sure what I would have to multiply.
Thanks.
Given a
Σ = {0, 1} input string, with the state set Q = {1...n}, how would I find the total number of DFAs that can be constructed?I believe this is a combinatorics problem, but I am not really sure what I would have to multiply.
Thanks.
Solution
This is indeed a nontrivial problem. A solution can be found in this paper: Enumeration and Random Generation of Accessible Automata.
