The question of whether there is an automaton withnstates which agrees with a finite setDof data is shown to beNP-complete, although identification-in-the-limit of finite automata is possible in polynomial time as a function of the size ofD. Necessary and sufficient conditions are given forDto be realizable by an automaton whose states are reachable from the initial state by a given setTof input strings. Although this question is alsoNP-complete, these conditions suggest heuristic approaches. Even if a solution to this problem were available, it is shown that finding a minimal setTdoes not necessarily give the smallest possibleT.
