On the synchronization of planar automata
J. Andrés Montoya, Christian Nolasco · arXiv (Cornell University) · 2016
Planar automata seems to be representative of the synchronizing behavior of deterministic finite state automata. We conjecture that Černy's conjecture holds true, if and only if, it holds true for planar automata. In this paper we have gathered some evidence concerning this conjecture. This evidence amounts to show that the class of planar automata is representative of the algorithmic hardness of synchronization
