Pushdown Automata (PDA) are the finite automata (FAs), but with the ability to push and pop symbols to/from a stack.PDA accepts strings if there is a legal path from start state to acceptance state for input. Otherwise, the string is rejected.A PDA can be represented by a 7-tuple(Q, ∑, ℾ, ... Read More

Finite automata is an abstract computing device. It is a mathematical model of a system with discrete inputs, outputs, states and a set of transitions from state to state that occurs on input symbols from the alphabet Σ.Formal definition of Finite AutomataFinite automata is defined as a 5-tuplesM=(Q, ∑, δ, ...

ProblemGenerate the push down automata (PDA) that recognizes the language E={aibj| i is not equal to j and I is not equal to 2j}.SolutionConsider the two languages as given below −L1={aibj|i, j>=0 and i>2j}L2={aibj|i, j>=0 and iaA   A->aaAb|aA|epsilonIn L2, the number of a's are less than double the number of ...

A Deterministic Finite automata (DFA) is a five tuplesM=(Q, ∑, δ, q0, F)Where, Q − Finite set called states.∑ − Finite set called alphabets.δ − Q × ∑ → Q is the transition function.q0 ∈ Q is the start or initial state.F − Final or accept state.Let’s see the worst ... Read More

ProblemDefine the language, E={aibj|i not equal to j and i not equal to 2j} and design an unambiguous context free grammar (CFG) in Chomsky normal form (CNF) that generates E.SolutionThe unambiguous CFG for the given language is as follows −S->AC|CBA->aA|aB->Bb|bC->aCb|aaCb|epsilonNow, convert this CFG into CNF. You can follow the below ... Read More

Context Free Grammars (CFG) are definitely recognized by Non-deterministic push down automata (NPDA), but Programming languages are translated to binary (Machine Code) via Deterministic PDA.This is because it has the following below mentioned impacts −If Programming languages were supposed to be translated via NPDA then for one given program instance ...

The instantaneous description (ID) of a push down automata (PDA) is represented by a triple (q, w, s)Where, q is the state.w is unconsumed input.s is the stack contents.ID is an informal notation of how a PDA compares an input string and makes a decision that string is accepted or ... Read More

All grammars are not always optimized, which means the grammar may consist of some extra symbols (non-terminals) which increase the length of grammar.So, we have to reduce the grammar by removing the useless symbols.PropertiesThe properties to reduce grammar are explained below −Each non-terminal and terminal of G appears in the ...
