You can find specialized books consisting entirely or problems from particular math domains (e.g. linear algebra, polynomials, combinatorics), but I've yet to find such a book for automata of any kind.

    $\begingroup$ I would like such a book, pretty sure there isn't one though. If we were to build one as a community, Shiva Kintali's site TrueShelf would be a good place to collect such problems. trueshelf.com/all $\endgroup$ Feb 20, 2014 at 22:55

    $\begingroup$ The book "Elements of Automata Theory" by Sakarovitch covers Automata Theory deeply. However, he uses a different notation compared to TCS-oriented texts. Once you got over this, its a pretty good book. $\endgroup$

Sort of indirectly, this book is about research level automata problems:

An automatic sequence is essentially a set of strings which can be computed by a DFA.
