In Rutten [16] the theoretical basis was given for the synthesis of binary Mealy machines from specifications in 2-adic arithmetic. This construction is based on the symbolic computation of the coalgebraic notion of stream function derivative, a generalisation of the Brzozowski derivative of regular expressions. In this paper we complete the construction of Mealy machines from specifications in both 2-adic and modulo-2 arithmetic by describing how we decide equivalence of expressions via reduction to normal forms; we present a Haskell implementation of this Mealy
synthesis algorithm; and a theoretical result which characterises the (number of) states in Mealy machines constructed from rational 2-adic specifications.
