Here's a breakdown of how an engineering student might approach solving the problems in the
provided PDF. I can work on any specific problem or provide general solutions for all of them. Here's an
overview:
1. Definitions:
Finite Automata (FA): A mathematical model of computation with states, transitions, an
initial state, and accept states. Useful for representing regular languages.
Transition Diagram: A graphical representation of a finite automaton, where states are
nodes, and transitions are labeled edges between these nodes.
2. ε-closure and DFA Construction:
ε-closure(q): The set of states reachable from state q using zero or more ϵ-transitions.
Example to be included.
DFA constructions:
For L = {x ∈ {a, b} : ∣x∣a is odd, and ∣x∣b is even}.
For binary strings where the third symbol from the right is 1.
For {w over {0, 1} : number of 1’s in w ≡ 3 mod 4}.
For strings with three consecutive 0’s.
3. DFA and NFA for given constraints:
DFA for strings containing “000” as a substring.
NFA for strings containing two consecutive 0’s.
4. Odd 1’s and Even 0’s:
DFA construction for recognizing strings with an odd number of 1’s and even 0’s.
5. Relations Among Automata Types:
Explanation of how regular expressions, DFA, NFA, and ε-NFA are equivalent representations
of regular languages.
6. Pumping Lemma for Regular Languages:
Statement of the lemma and proof showing that L = {0n 1n ∣n ≥ 1} is not regular.
7. Regular Expressions:
For strings with an odd number of 1’s.
For strings ending in 00.
8. Additional Regular Expressions:

L1 : Strings of 0 and 1 ending in 00.
9. CFG Construction:
For strings with equal numbers of a’s and b’s.
10. Context-Free Grammar (CFG) and Unambiguity:
Definitions and examples.
11. Regular Language Verification:
Using the Pumping Lemma for:
L = {an bm ∣n, m ≥ 1},
L = {an bn ∣n ≥ 1},
L = {am bn ∣m > n}.
12. Normalization and CNF/GNF Construction:
Purpose and step-by-step conversion of the given grammar into CNF and GNF.
13. CFG for Regular Expression:
For (011 + 1)(01).
Would you like me to solve all the problems step by step or focus on specific questions?
1. Definitions
Finite Automata (FA): A model of computation consisting of a finite set of states, transitions based
on input symbols, an initial state, and one or more accept states. Recognizes regular languages.
Transition Diagram: A directed graph representation of FA. States are nodes, and transitions are
labeled edges between these nodes.
ε-closure(q): The set of states reachable from q using zero or more ϵ-transitions.
Example:
For a transition diagram:
ϵ ϵ
q0
q1
q1
q2
ϵ-closure(q0 ) = {q0 , q1 , q2 }.

1. L = {x ∈ {a, b} : ∣x∣a is odd and ∣x∣b is even} : Create states representing the parity of a
Use states to track the parity of 1’s and 0’s. Ensure the final state satisfies both conditions.

S → aSb ∣ bSa ∣ ϵ
Context-Free Grammar (CFG): A set of production rules generating a language where every
derivation has a single parse tree.
Unambiguity: A grammar is unambiguous if every string has a unique parse tree.
1. Normalization Steps:
Remove null, unit, and useless productions.
Convert to Chomsky Normal Form (CNF): Every rule is A → BC or A → a.
Convert to Greibach Normal Form (GNF): Every rule is A → aα, where α is a string of
variables.
S → AB, A → 011 ∣ 1, B → 01

automata!
