Abstract

A word w of letters on edges of the underlying graph of a deterministic

 finite automaton (DFA) is called synchronizing if w sends all states of

the automaton to a unique state.

 J. Černy discovered in 1964 a sequence of n-state complete DFA

possessing a minimal synchronizing word of length (n-1)^2.

The hypothesis, well known today as the Černy conjecture, formulated in 1966 by Starke, claims that the precise upper bound on the length of a synchronizing word for a complete DFA is  (n-1)^2. An effort to prove  the Černy conjecture is presented in PowerPoint on flash drive.
