%0 Journal Article %T On the Average Complexity of Moore's State Minimization Algorithm %A Fr¨¦d¨¦rique Bassino %A Julien David %A Cyril Nicaud %J Computer Science %D 2009 %I arXiv %X We prove that, for any arbitrary finite alphabet and for the uniform distribution over deterministic and accessible automata with n states, the average complexity of Moore's state minimization algorithm is in O(n log n). Moreover this bound is tight in the case of unary utomata. %U http://arxiv.org/abs/0902.1048v1
