  • Abstract
    In a recent note by Bacon [1], a new result about the minimization of stochastic finite state machines has been proven. Extending the theory developed by Carlyle [2], he shows that all minimal-state forms of equivalent machines are state equivalent, and they all have the same number of states. He also describes a necessary and sufficient condition for a machine to be minimal.
