Summary

In this chapter we introduce the bimachine, a deterministic finite-state device that exactly represents the class of all regular string functions. We prove this correspondence, using as a key ingredient a procedure for converting transducers to bimachines. Methods for pseudo-minimization and direct composition of bimachines are added.
