    Complexity: linear in the length of the string.
    Note: for full performance, use the RunAutomaton class.

    Note: for full performance, use the RunAutomaton class.
  - removeDeadStates
```
public static Automaton removeDeadStates(Automaton a)
```
    Removes transitions to dead states (a state is "dead" if it is not reachable from the initial state or no accept state is reachable from it.)
  - isFinite
```
public static boolean isFinite(Automaton a)
```
    Returns true if the language of this automaton is finite. The automaton must not have any dead states.
  - getCommonPrefix
```
public static String getCommonPrefix(Automaton a)
```
    Returns the longest string that is a prefix of all accepted strings and visits each state at most once. The automaton must be deterministic.

    Returns the longest BytesRef that is a prefix of all accepted strings and visits each state at most once. The automaton must be deterministic.

```
public static BytesRef getCommonSuffixBytesRef(Automaton a,
                                               int maxDeterminizedStates)
```
    Returns the longest BytesRef that is a suffix of all accepted strings. Worst case complexity: exponential in number of states (this calls determinize).

    maxDeterminizedStates - maximum number of states determinizing the automaton can result in. Set higher to allow more complex queries and lower to prevent memory exhaustion.

  - topoSortStates
```
public static int[] topoSortStates(Automaton a)

    Returns the topological sort of all states reachable from the initial state. Behavior is undefined if this automaton has cycles. CPU cost is O(numTransitions), and the implementation is recursive so an automaton matching long strings may exhaust the java stack.
