AUTOMATA AS COALGEBRAS IN CATEGORY OF MATRICES
This paper considers automata as models of systems used for information processing and computational execution. Special attention is devoted to the coalgebraic approach and the category of matrices as modern methods for the formal description of dynamic and state-based systems. By viewing automata as coalgebras, it becomes possible to model system ...
