Summary: [For the entire collection see Zbl 0635.00015.]
We characterize concurrent alphabets for which every recognizable trace language admits a minimum finite state asynchronous automaton. Furthermore, we consider the equivalence problem for unambiguous regular trace languages, and prove that in some cases it is decidable even if the concurrency relation is not transitive.
