Mappings with maximum implementation complexity

Abstract

The paper continues the investigation into the complexity of automata implementation via state encoding. Previous research was focused on the identification of “simple implementations” of automata and mappings on a finite set. This paper is devoted to mappings with “complex implementations”, i.e., mappings for which any irredundant encoding yields a Boolean operator of maximum complexity in terms of the Zhegalkin polynomial degree. It is proved that for any set cardinality \(n=2^k\) such mappings exist. These mappings can be used in future research to prove that automata admitting only “complex implementations” also exist.

Keywords: Automata theory, semiautomata, transition systems, assignment, state encoding, complexity, boolean operator.
