Research output: Contribution to journalArticlepeer-review

Abstract

Let (xt) be an n-periodic sequence in which the first n elements are drawn i.i.d. according to some rational distribution. We prove there exists a constant C such that whenever mlnm≥Cn, with probability close to 1, there exists an automaton of size m that matches the sequence at almost all stages.
