Abstract

In 1977 I finished my PhD Thesis on categories of stochastic machines. The main attention was paid on computing behavior, establishing equivalence of states and equivalence of stochastic machines, as well as on reduction and minimization. All these problems were solved for stochastic machines, using linear algebra: they require solving linear system of equations with traditional algebraic operations, establishing linear dependence or linear independence of vectors, Noetherian property. After 1980 I was interested in similar problems, but for finite fuzzy machines.
