Abstract

We consider the action graphs Γn(A) and Γ(A) for bounded and polynomial automata A, which model the action of automata on words of length n and infinite words, respectively. A method for finding the orbital contracting coefficient and the growth of the diameters of graphs Γn(A) for a bounded automaton is established. We give estimates on the growth degrees of the graphs Γ(A) for bounded automata. It is proved that the graphs Γ(A) for non-deterministic polynomial automata have subexponential growth.
