State Table Representation
A tabular method for defining the state machine, listing (Current State, Input) (Next State, Output). It is a systematic way to implement the transition function .
📜
The statement of the theorem
The state machine behavior is defined by the transition function and the output function . The State Table Representation systematically maps the input pair to the resulting state and output . This mapping is formalized as: where and . The table structure is a set of ordered quadruplets: .
