Abstract

A generalization of the Krohn-Rhodes theorem is presented that holds for finite as well as for infinite automata. In the finite case the statement is sharper than the usual version of the Krohn-Rhodes theorem in so far as it shows that for any automaton M there exists a cascade decomposition of M with the property that each composition factor of a maximal subgroup of the semigroup of M appears at most once as a component of the decomposition.
