Method Details

minimize

public static Automaton minimize(Automaton a,
 int determinizeWorkLimit)

Minimizes (and determinizes if not already deterministic) the given automaton using Hopcroft's algorithm.

Parameters:

determinizeWorkLimit - maximum effort to spend determinizing the automaton. Set higher to allow more complex queries and lower to prevent memory exhaustion. Use Operations.DEFAULT_DETERMINIZE_WORK_LIMIT as a decent default if you don't otherwise know what to specify.
