Reset Thresholds of Automata with Two Cycle Lengths

  • Conference paper

Part of the book series: Lecture Notes in Computer Science ((LNTCS,volume 8587))

Abstract

We present several series of synchronizing automata with multiple parameters, generalizing previously known results. Let p and q be two arbitrary co-prime positive integers, q > p. We describe reset thresholds of the colorings of primitive digraphs with exactly one cycle of length p and one cycle of length q. Also, we study reset thresholds of the colorings of primitive digraphs with exactly one cycle of length q and two cycles of length p.
