When we talk about Turing machines (TM) it could accept the input, reject it or keep computing which is called loop.Now a language is recognizable if and only if a Turing machine accepts the string, when the provided input lies in the language.Also, a language can be recognizable if the TM either terminates and rejects the string or doesn't terminate at all. This means that the TM continues with the computing when the provided input doesn't lie in the language.Whereas, the language is decidable if and only if there is a machine which accepts the string when the provided input ...

ProblemProve each of the following equalities of regular expressions.a. ab*a(a + bb*a)*b = a(b + aa*b)*aa*b.b. b + ab* + aa*b + aa*ab* = a*(b + ab*).SolutionProblem 1Prove that ab*a(a + bb*a)*b = a(b + aa*b)*aa*b.Let’s take LHS , = ab*a(a + bb*a)*b Use property of (a+b)* = a*(ba*)* = ab*a (a* ((bb*a) a* )* a*b = ab* a (a*bb*a)* a*b {Associative property} = ab* (a (a*bb*a)*)a*b = ab*(aa*bb*)*aa*b = a (b*(aa*bb*)*)aa*b Use property a* (ba*)*= (a+b)* = a(b+aa*b)*aa*b = RHS Hence provedProblem 2Prove that b + ab* + aa*b + aa*ab* ...

Consider a Language L, over an alphabet T is known as recursive enumerable if there exists a turing machine (TM) which generates a sequence of numbers T* which have precisely the members of L.Whereas L is said to be recursive if there exists a Turing Machine enlisting all members of L and stopping on each member of L as the input.Thus it is clear from the above statements that every recursive language is also recursively enumerable but the converse is not true.The precise connection between families of languages is given below.TheoremStep 1 − A language L is said to be ...

A context-free grammar is a quadruple G = (N, T, P, S), Where, N is a finite set of nonterminal symbols, T is a finite set of terminal symbols, N ∩ T = ∅, P is a finite set of productions of the form A → α, Where A ∈ N, α ∈ (N ∪ T)*, S is the start symbol, S ∈ N.Construct a Context free grammar for the language, L = {anbm| m ≠n}Case 1n > m − We generate a string with an equal number of a’s and b’s and add extra a’s on the left −S ...

A Turing machine (TM) can be formally described as seven tuples −(Q, X, ∑, δ, q0, B, F)Where, Q is a finite set of states.X is the tape alphabet.∑ is the input alphabet.δ is a transition function:δ𝛿:QxX->QxXx{left shift, right shift}.q0 is the initial state.B is the blank symbol.F is the final state.A Turing machine T recognises a string x (over ∑) if and only when T starts in the initial position and x is written on the tape, T halts in a final state.T is said to recognize a language A, if x is recognised by T and if and ...

Chomsky Hierarchy represents the class of languages that are accepted by the different machines.Chomsky hierarchyHierarchy of grammars according to Chomsky is explained below as per the grammar types −Type 0. Unrestricted grammars Turing Machine (TM)Type 1. Context-sensitive grammars Linear Bounded Automaton (LBA)Type 2. Context-free grammars Pushdown Automaton (PDA)Type 3. Regular grammars Finite Automaton (FA)Type-1 Context Sensitive Grammar (CSG)Type 1 grammar is also known as context sensitive grammarThe context sensitive grammar is used to represent context sensitive languageThe CSG follows some rules, which are as follows −The context sensitive grammar may have more than one symbol on the left hand side ...
