    - #### minimize

          public static Automaton minimize(Automaton a,
                           int maxDeterminizedStates)

      Minimizes (and determinizes if not already deterministic) the given automaton using Hopcroft's algorighm.
      Parameters:
        `maxDeterminizedStates` - maximum number of states determinizing the automaton can result in. Set higher to allow more complex queries and lower to prevent memory exhaustion.
