We define right and left invariant matrices as Boolean matrices that are solutions to certain systems of matrix equations and inequalities over additively idempotent semirings. We provide improved algorithms for computing the greatest right and left invariant equivalence and quasi-order matrices. The improvements are based on the usage of the well-known partition refinement technique. Afterwards, we present the application of right invariant matrices in the determinization of weighted automata over additively idempotent, commutative and zero-divisor free semirings. In particular, we provide improvements of the well-known determinization method of weighted automata over tropical semirings given by Mohri [Computational Linguistics 23 (2) (1997) 269-311].
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
