either theoretical and sensible concerns inspire the repre­ sentation of items as yes compositions of less complicated ones. within the concept of automata this statement has ended in the innovations of professional­ ducts and whole structures of automata. within the common type of the goods of automata all of the part automata are fed again to each other. With this very large thought of goods, the belief of automata with huge numbers of states by way of compositions of simple elements is a hugely concerned method; this raises the potential of mistakes. as a way to lessen the complexity of feedbacks, a hierarchy of goods known as lXi-pro­ ducts was once brought a few 10 years in the past, the place i runs over the set of all non-negative integers. In an IXcproduct the index set of the part automata is linearly ordered. The enter of every automaton within the product could rely on the states of all automata previous it, i. e. , all part automata steer all these automata which stick with them within the product. in addition, at such a lot the subsequent i-I automata (including itself) can be fed again to the enter of a given part automaton. therefore for iXcproducts the lengths of feedbacks are at so much i. the purpose of this monograph is to provide a scientific account of iXi-Products. It comprises 5 chapters, a reference part, and an index. the 1st bankruptcy comprises the mandatory techniques and effects from common algebra, automata, and sequential machines.
