Abstract

In this paper, we present algorithms for preset and adaptive homing experiments for a given observable reduced nondeterministic finite state machine (NFSM). We show that the tight upper bound on a shortest preset homing sequence for a NFSM with n states and with two or more initial states is of order 2 n2. The upper bound on a shortest adaptive homing sequence of a NFSM with m initial states, m ≤ n, states is of order ∑j=2 mCnj and this upper bound is of order 2 n when m tends to n.
