Abstract
For systems of automaton functions that form a closed class, it is important to determine the basis from the minimal number of variables from which they can be obtained by superposition operations. Of particular interest are classes in which the ’proper’ automata from the basis have a single input variable; this restriction does not apply to Boolean functions from the basis, which are automata with a single state. An example of such a class is the class of all automata. The author studies subclasses of automata whose transition and output functions belong to a certain Post class.
Keywords: arity, automaton, Boolean function, superposition, closed class.
