Residual Languages and Probabilistic Automata

A stochastic generalisation of residual languages and operations on Probabilistic Finite Automata (PFA) are studied. When these operations are iteratively applied to a subclass of PFA called PRFA, they lead to a unique canonical form (up to an isomorphism) which can be efficiently computed from any equivalent PRFA representation.
