The state machine described in the previous section is a deterministic finite automaton, in which each state is unique. What would make a finite automaton nondeterministic is if each state was not. For the example, if the state machine allowed the input to have any letter as the second letter for the word "person" to transition to the next, then the next state would not be unique, making it a nondeterministic finite automaton.
A deterministic Finite Automata)DFA will have a single possible output for a given input.The answer is deterministic because you can always feel what the output will be.A (Nondeterministic Finite Automata)NFA will have at least one input which will cause a "choice" to be made during a state transition,unlike a (deterministic Finite Automata)DFA one input can cause multiple outputs for a given (Nondeterministic Finite Automata)NFA.
The defining characteristic of FA is that they have only a finite number of states. Hence, a finite automata can only "count" (that is, maintain a counter, where different states correspond to different values of the counter) a finite number of input scenarios.There is no finite automaton that recognizes these strings:The set of binary strings consisting of an equal number of 1's and 0'sThe set of strings over '(' and ')' that have "balanced" parenthesesThe 'pumping lemma' can be used to prove that no such FA exists for these examples.

DFA stands for Deterministic finite automaton and NFA stands for Nondeterministic finite automaton.Formally, an automaton is made up of: were delta is the transition function. In a DFA, delta takes as input a state and letter and returns only one state. In an NFA, delta takes as input a state and letter but returns a set of states.An NFA accepts a word iff there exists a run of the automaton on it (intuitively, the automaton guesses an accepting run). A DFA has only one run on every word and therefore accepts a word iff the single run on it is accepting.

The plural of automaton is automatons or automata
Cellular automata is the plural word for cellular automaton. A cellular automaton is a discrete model studied in different areas of math and science. It is basically used to study cells.
A deterministic finite automaton will have a single possible output for a given input. The answer is deterministic because you can always tell what the output will be. A nondeterministic finite automaton will have at least one input which will cause a "choice" to be made during a state transition. Unlike a DFA, one input can cause multiple outputs for a given NFA.
A push down automaton can actually store information in a stack as it processes it. It can then choose what to do next by looking at the top of the stack. DFAs and NFAs can't do that stuff, but any DFA or NFA can also be represented as a push down automaton.
Finite Automata and Regular Expressions are equivalent. Any language that can be represented with a regular expression can be accepted by some finite automaton, and any language accepted by some finite automaton can be represented by a regular expression.
The word Automata derived from a Greek word Automaton, Automatas means any machine can work on his own will.

A minimum automaton is the automaton that cannot be modeled with fewer states. Let a DFA D has n states that accepts a language L. If D is minimum then no other DFA can model L with number of states less than n.
A cellular automaton is a computational model consisting of a grid of cells, where each cell follows a set of rules based on the states of neighboring cells. Through iterations of applying these rules, complex patterns and behaviors can emerge from simple initial conditions. Cellular automata are used in various fields such as computer science, physics, and biology to study dynamic systems.
At automaton is a machine which has automation.See the related links below for the dictionary entries for each word.
