Aim of course

Advanced knowledge of the theory of automata and formal languages

Subject of course

Automata theory is a central subject of theoretical computer science. Finite
automata are the simplest possible machines and they appear explicitely as well
as implicitely in a variety of different subjects and applications in both
computer science and mathematics.

In mathematics, automata and formal languages are firmly tied to monoids and
semirings. In this course we will first develop classical automata theory on
the basis of continuous semirings. This leads to the more general notion of
weighted automaton, as well as to corresponding generalisations of formal
languages, grammars, etc. in a natural way. In the second part of the course we
will deal with the classification of regular languages by properties of their
syntactic monoids. As one of the most important results of this kind we will
prove the theorem of Schützenberger (the characterisation of the star-free
languages by aperiodic monoids).
