Synchronization of primitive automata

arXiv:2306.13317

Abstract

We exhibit new conditions under which a primitive automaton is synchronizing. In particular, we show that the primitivity of an automaton forces its synchronizability whenever the automaton has either a letter of defect 1 or a word of rank 2.
