Showing that and M are isomorphic

To show that and M are isomorphic we have to define a bijection that satisfies all the three conditions given in the definition of DFA isomorphism.

  • Recall that the states of are where are the representatives of each k equivalence classes of .
  • Let us define as follows
  • That is, f maps state of to the state in M which can be arrived at processing the string from the start state of M. we know that  . Hence f is well-defined.

  • f is onto since
