Abstract
A result of Nicaud states that the number of distinct unary regular string languages recognized by minimal deterministic finite automata (DFAs) with n states is asymptotically equal to n2 n − 1. We consider the analogous question for symmetric difference automata (ℤ2-NFAs), and show that precisely 22n − 1 unary languages are recognized by n-state minimal ℤ2-NFAs.
