Showing One Machine Satisfies Another

How do we show the satisfies relationship holds between two state machines? Given our two state machines, tex2html_wrap_inline375 and tex2html_wrap_inline377 , in general it is not so straightforward to determine if C satisfies A because their state sets, tex2html_wrap_inline427 and tex2html_wrap_inline429 , may be different. The proof technique we present uses an abstraction function to relate these state setsgif.
