Reachable Vectors
As depicted in the Matrix Implementation, we can see that each word can be represented as the vector .
We call the set of all vectors that can be produced in this manner as Reachable Vectors.
If the semi-ring of the weighted automata is a sub-semi-ring of a field, then we can think of the above set of Reachable Vectors sitting in a vector space, called the Reachable Subspace. This, in general will be a strict super-set of the set of Reachable Vectors.
The basis for the Reachable Subspace is called the Reachable Basis and is useful in many algorithms.
