.:: System Explanation ::.
The proposed system is best described by a Mealy machine, a special type of finite state machines (FSM). Mealy machines are described by a 6-tuple, (Q, q0, Σ, Λ, δ, Ω), with:
- Q - a set of states, for the proposed system we use three different states (q0 - not yet trained, q1 - trained to recognize chemical A, q2 - trained to recognize chemical B)
- q0 - a start state, here we assume we start in a state where the system is not yet trained
- Σ = {AL, A, BL, B} - an input alphabet
- Λ = {green, red, cyan, yellow, nothing} - an output alphabet
- δ : Q × Σ → Q - a state transition function
- Ω : Q × Σ → Λ - an output function
In detail, the transition function δ and the output function Ω look as follows:
| inputs/states | q0 | q1 | q2 | inputs/states | q0 | q1 | q2 | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| AL | q1 | q1 | q1 | AL | nothing | |||
| A | q0 | q1 | q2 | A | red | cyan | ||
| BL | q2 | q2 | q2 | BL | nothing | |||
| B | q0 | q1 | q2 | B | green | yellow |
The resulting automaton is represented by Fig. 1.
