Abstract: Weighted finite automata (WFA) are used with FPGA accelerating hardware to scan large genomic banks. Hardwiring such automata raises surface area and clock frequency constraints, requiring efficient ε-transitions-removal techniques. In this paper, we present bounds on the number of new transitions for the development of acyclic WFA, which is a special case of the ε-transitions-removal problem. We introduce a new problem, a partial removal of ε-transitions while accepting short chains of ε-transitions.
