Un automate fini ou automate avec un nombre fini d'états (en anglais finite-state automaton ou finite state machine ou FSM) est un modèle mathématique de calcul, utilisé dans de nombreuses circonstances, allant de la conception de programmes informatiques et de circuits en logique séquentielle aux applications dans des protocoles de communication, en passant par le contrôle des processus, la linguistique et même la biologie.

Discrete time and continuous time

In mathematical dynamics, discrete time and continuous time are two alternative frameworks within which variables that evolve over time are modeled. Discrete time views values of variables as occurring at distinct, separate "points in time", or equivalently as being unchanged throughout each non-zero region of time ("time period")—that is, time is viewed as a discrete variable. Thus a non-time variable jumps from one value to another as time moves from one time period to the next.
