DFAs have been generalized to ''[[nondeterministic finite automata]] (NFA)'' which may have several arrows of the same label starting from a state. Using the [[powerset construction]] method, every NFA can be translated to a DFA that recognizes the same language. DFAs, and NFAs as well, recognize exactly the set of [[regular language]]s.<ref name="Hopcroft 2001"/>
