dc.descriptionTwo languages are "finitely different" if their symmetric difference is finite. We consider the DFAs of finitely different regular languages and find major structural similarities. We proceed to consider the smallest DFAs that recognize a language finitely different from some given DFA. Such "f-minimal" DFAs are not unique, and this non-uniqueness is characterized. Finally, we offer a solution to the minimization problem of finding such f-minimal DFAs.
