%0 Journal Article %T Design of Minimal States Deterministic Finite Pattern Using the Concept of Regular Expression %A Syed Asif Ali %J International Journal of Recent Technology and Engineering %D 2013 %I IJRTE %X the purpose of this paper is to design a minimal states deterministic finite automaton for Sign language pattern using the concept regular expression. Deterministic finite automata are a practical approach used for designing a computational model. This paper also emphasis on minimization of Sign language DFA using the concept of contraction (or merging) of equivalent states algorithm. %K Sign Language pattern %K Deterministic Finite Automata (DFA) %K Minimization of DFA. %U http://www.ijrte.org/attachments/File/v2i1/A0468032113.pdf
