Abstract
We determine the asymptotic proportion of minimal automata, within
n-state accessible deterministic complete automata over a k-letter
alphabet, with the uniform distribution over the possible transition
structures, and a binomial distribution over terminal states, with
arbitrary parameter b. It turns out that a fraction ~ 1-C(k,b)
n^{-k+2} of automata is minimal, with C(k,b) a function, explicitly
determined, involving the solution of a transcendental equation.
