It does so by replacing an explicit alphabet with an alphabet described implicitly by a Boolean algebra. We study here one of the core problems, minimization, of automata. We introduce a new minimization algorithm for symbolic automata that takes advantage of state-of-the-art constraint solving techniques for automata analysis that are both expressive and efficient, even for very large and infinite alphabets.}, publisher = {Microsoft Research}, url = {http://approjects.co.za/?big=en-us/research/publication/minimization-of-symbolic-automata/}, number = {MSR-TR-2013-48}, }
