// The way we developed this algorithm is the following: We take an
// automaton, and reverse all these acceptance conditions.  We reverse
// them to go make the meaning of the signature easier. We are using
// bdd, and we want to let it make all the simplification. Because of
// the format of the acceptance condition, it doesn't allow easy
// simplification. Instead of encoding them as: "a!b!c + !ab!c", we
// use them as: "ab". We complement them because we want a
// simplification if the condition of the transition A implies the
// transition of B, and if the acceptance condition of A is included
// in the acceptance condition of B. To let the bdd makes the job, we
// revert them.

// Then, to check if a transition i-dominates another, we'll use the bdd:
// "sig(transA) = cond(trans) & acc(trans) & implied(class(trans->state))"
// Idem for sig(transB). The 'implied'
// (represented by a hash table 'relation_' in the implementation) is
// a conjunction of all the class dominated by the class of the
// destination. This is how the relation is included in the
// signature. It makes the simplifications alone, and the work is
// done.  The algorithm is cut into several step:
//
// 1. Run through the tgba and switch the acceptance condition to their
//    negation, and initializing relation_ by the 'init_ -> init_' where
//    init_ is the bdd which represents the class. This function is the
//    constructor of Simulation.
// 2. Enter in the loop (run).
//    - Rename the class.
//    - run through the automaton and computing the signature of each
//      state. This function is `update_sig'.
//    - Enter in a double loop to adapt the partial order, and set
//      'relation_' accordingly. This function is `update_po'.
// 3. Rename the class (to actualize the name in the previous_class and
//    in relation_).
// 4. Building an automaton with the result, with the condition:
// "a transition in the original automaton appears in the simulated one
// iff this transition is included in the set of i-maximal neighbour."
// This function is `build_output'.
// The automaton simulated is recomplemented to come back to its initial
// state when the object Simulation is destroyed.
//
// Obviously these functions are possibly cut into several little one.
// This is just the general development idea.

// How to use isop:
// I need all variable non_acceptance & non_class.
// bdd_support(sig(X)): All var
// bdd_support(sig(X)) - allacc - allclassvar


// We have had the Cosimulation by changing the acc_compl_automaton by
// adding a template parameter. If this parameter is set to true, we
// record the transition in the opposite direction (we just swap
// sources and destination). In the build result we are making the
// same thing to rebuild the automaton.
// In the signature,

// TODO LIST: Play on the order of the selection in the
// dont_care_simulation. The good place to work is in add_to_map_imply.
