    Better hang on to that where, you'll need it to describe Turing machines, and other finite state automata.


    An acceptor finite-state machine is a quintuple (Σ,S,s0,Î,F), where:

    * Σ is the input alphabet (a finite, non-empty set of symbols).

    * S is a finite, non-empty set of states.

    * s0 is an initial state, an element of S. In a Nondeterministic finite state machine, s0 is a set of initial states.

    * Î is the state-transition function: \delta: S \times \Sigma \rightarrow S.

    * F is the set of final states, a (possibly empty) subset of S.
