Abstract. The theory of graphs is a very suitable mathematical device for describing finite automates. By defining and forming a finite automate graph some problems of the finite automate algebra can be solved in a far simpler way. This primarily refers to the possibility of optimizing by the decomposition method by which a graph is decomposed in its substructures. An algorithm has been formed by which a complex finite automate is decomposed into subautomates with the ultimate aim of turning them into elementary automates. All the considerations are at an abstract level. 
TEORIJA GRAFOVA I NEKE MOGUĆNOSTI OPTIMIZACIJE KONAČNIH AUTOMATA
Teorija grafova je veoma pogodan matematički aparat za opisivanje konačnih automata. Kada se definiše i formira graf konačnog automata, neki problemi algebre konačnih automata mogu da se reše daleko jednostavnije. To se pre svega odnosi na mogućnosti optimizacije metodom dekompozicije, gde se graf razbija na svoje podstrukture. Formiran je algoritam kojim se složeni konačni automat razlaže na podautomate, sa krajnjim ciljem da to budu elementarni automati. Sva razmatranja su na apstraktnom nivou.
