Abstract
A device for synthesizing a reverse model of a system includes a first store storing bits representative of transition functions of the system, a second store storing bits representative of an estimate of transition functions of the reverse model, and processing system. The processing system comprises a logical device for transforming the transition functions of the system into constraints on the reverse model, and a parameterization processor for applying a parameterization of the constraints to the estimate of transition functions of reverse system to form transition functions of the reverse model.
