  • Abstract
    A finite automation is called synchronizable of N th order if the knowledge of the last N outputs suffices to determine the state of the automaton at one time during the last N outputs (including the initial and the final states). In an analogous manner synchronizability of N th order is defined for variable length codes. The paper describes a test for synchronizability on a more general model, the coding graphs, and shows that finite automata and variable length codes are special cases of it.
