The trade-off in the number of states is determined for the conversion of special non-deterministic finite automata (NFA) to deterministic ones (DFA) accepting the same language. The special NFA considered here are unambiguous finite automata over a single letter alphabet. The number of states needed for a DFA for such a special NFA is smaller than for an arbitrary NFA.
