In theoretical computer science, the separating words problem is the problem of finding the smallest deterministic finite automaton that behaves differently on two given strings, meaning that it accepts one of the two strings and rejects the other string.
It is an open problem how large such an automaton must be; in the worst case, as a function of the length of the input strings.
