Finite Automata and Regular Expression
• Theorem
• Every regular language defined by a regular expression is also defined
by the finite automata
• Every regular language defined by the finite automata is also defined
by the regular expression

• To Prove
L(M) = L(R)
Where L(R) => Language for the regular expression ‘R’
L(M) => Language for some NFA-
