Spring Semester Examination, 2018

Date: 12-5-2018 Duration: 3 hrs.


Teacher: Ms. Naveen Z. Quazilbash Max Marks: 30

Instructions:
 Attempt all questions.

Q1: (Marks: 2+3=5)


a) Let A be the language consisting of all strings over {0,1} containing a 1 in the third
position from the end (e.g. 000100 is in A but 0011 is not). Construct an NFA for the
language A.

b) Construct an equivalent DFA for the following NFA N:

Q2: Write regular expressions for the following languages defined over = {0, 1}:
(Marks: 1x4=4)

a) {w | w contains a single 1}
b) {w | w has at least one 1}
c) {w | every 0 in w is followed by at least one 1}
d) {w | the length of w is a multiple of three}

Q3: Convert the regular expression (a U b)*aba to a -NFA. (Marks: 2)

Q4: Obtain the language generated by each of the following production rules. Also write down
their RE (Regular Expression). (Marks: 1x2=2)

a) S aS
S ε

b) S aS
S bS
S a

Q5: Begin with the grammar: (Marks: 1x4=4)


S ASB | ε
A aAS | a
B SbS | A |bb

a) Are there any useless symbols? Eliminate them if so.


b) Eliminate ε -productions.
c) Eliminate unit productions
d) Put the grammar into Chomsky normal form.

Q6: Here is a context-free grammar G = ({S, A, B}, {0, 1}, P, S), where P is the set of
productions: (Marks: 1x3=3)

S 0A | 1B| ε
A  1S | 0AA
B  0S | 1BB

Intuitively, A generates strings with one more 1 than 0, B generates strings with one more
0 than 1, and S generates the strings with equal numbers of 0's and 1's.

a) Give a leftmost derivation of the string 0011.


b) Give a rightmost derivation of the string 001011.
c) Draw a parse tree for the string 1001.

Q7: Show the ID’s of the following Turing Machine that accepts {0n1n | n≥1}, If the input tape
contains: (Marks: 2x3=6)
a) 00
b) 000111
c) 00111

Symbol
State 0 1 X Y B
q0 (q1 , X, R) - - (q3 , Y, R) -
q1 (q1 , 0, R) (q2 , Y, L) - (q1 ,Y, R) -
q2 (q2 , 0, L) - (q0 , X, R) (q2 , Y, L) -
q3 - - - (q3 , Y, R) (q4 , B, R)
q4 - - - - -

Q8: (Marks: 2x2=4)


a) For the given transition functions of a PDA M

M = ({q1, q2, q3, q4}, {0, 1}, {$, 0, 1}, d, q1, {q4})

where d is defined as follows:


d(q1, e, e) à { (q2, $) }
d(q2, 0, e) à { (q2, 0) }
d(q2, 1, 0) à { (q3, e) }
d(q3, 1, 0) à { (q3, e) }
d(q3, e, $) à { (q4, e) }
(...and all others are undefined)

Starting from the initial ID (q1, ω , e), show all reachable ID’s when the input ω is 000111.

b) Given that the PDA P= ({q, p}, {0, 1}, {Z0, X}, δ, q, Z0, {p}) has the following transition
function:

1. δ (q0, 0, Z0)={(q0, 0Z0)}


2. δ (q0, 1, Z0)={(q0, 1Z0)}
3. δ (q0, 0, 0)={(q0, 00)}
4. δ (q0, 0, 1)={(q0, 01)}
5. δ (q0, 1, 0)={(q0, 10)}
6. δ (q0, 1, 1)={(q0, 11)}
7. δ (q0, ε, Z0)={(q1, Z0)}
8. δ (q0, ε, 0)={(q1, 0)}
9. δ (q0, ε, 1)={(q1, 1)}
10. δ (q1, 0, 0)={(q1, ε)}
11. δ (q1, 1, 1)={(q1, ε)}
12. δ (q1, ε, Z0)={(q2, Z0)}

Starting from the initial ID (q0, ω, Z0), show all the reachable ID’s when the input ω is 1111.

Good Luck 
