S → aSb ∣ bSa ∣ ϵ
10. CFG and Unambiguity
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.
11. Regular Language Verification
L = {an bm ∣n, m ≥ 1} : Regular, as it can be expressed by a+ b+ .
L = {an bn ∣n ≥ 1} : Not Regular, proven by Pumping Lemma.
L = {am bn ∣m > n} : Not Regular, as balancing is required.
12. CNF and GNF Construction
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.
13. CFG for (011 + 1)(01):
S → AB, A → 011 ∣ 1, B → 01
Let me know if you'd like detailed explanations for specific questions or visual aids like diagrams for
automata!
yes provide detailed explaination for all these questions
I'll provide a detailed explanation for each question step by step.
1. Definitions
Finite Automata (FA): A mathematical model used to recognize regular languages. It consists of:
A finite set of states (Q).
An input alphabet (Σ).
A transition function (δ ).
An initial state (q0 ).
A set of accepting states (F ).

Example: Recognizing binary strings divisible by 2.
Q = {q0 , q1 }, Σ = {0, 1}, q0 is the initial state, and F = {q0 }.
Transition Diagram: A visual representation of an FA where:
States are represented as circles.
Transitions are arrows labeled with input symbols.
The initial state has an incoming arrow with no source.
Accept states are denoted by double circles.
Example: Diagram for binary divisibility by 2:
q0 → q1 on input 1, and q0 → q0 on 0.
2. ε-closure(q) and DFA Construction
ε-closure(q): The set of all states reachable from q using zero or more ϵ-transitions.
Example: For states q0 , q1 , and q2 :
ϵ ϵ
q0 q1 , q1 q2
ϵ-closure(q0 ) = {q0 , q1 , q2 }.
DFA Construction for Each Language:
1. L = {x ∈ {a, b} : ∣x∣a is odd and ∣x∣b is even} :
States track the parity of a and b.
Create four states (Odda , Evenb ), (Odda , Oddb ), (Evena , Evenb ), (Evena , Oddb ).
2. Binary strings where the third symbol from the right is 1:
Use three states to track the last three symbols.
Final state accepts if the third symbol is 1.
3. Strings where the number of 1’s ≡ 3 mod 4 :
Create four states q0 , q1 , q2 , q3 for remainders 0, 1, 2, 3.
1
Transition qi q(i+1) mod 4 .
4. Strings with three consecutive 0’s:
States track 0, 00, 000.
Transition on 1 resets the progress.
3. DFA and NFA for Substrings
DFA for “000” as a substring:
States track how much of “000” has been seen.
State q3 is the final state for matching.
Diagram:
0 0 0
q0 q1 q2 q3 .
NFA for two consecutive 0’s:
States q0 → q1 on 0, and q1 → q2 on 0.

Non-deterministic because it doesn't reset progress for other inputs.
4. Odd 1’s and Even 0’s:
States:
q0 : Even 1’s and Even 0’s (Initial state).
q1 : Odd 1’s and Even 0’s.
q2 : Even 1’s and Odd 0’s.
q3 : Odd 1’s and Odd 0’s.
5. Relations Among Automata Types
Regular expressions → NFA → DFA (using subset construction).
DFA → Regular expressions (using state elimination).
ε-NFA adds ϵ-transitions for flexibility, no power difference.
6. Pumping Lemma and L = {0n 1n }:
Assume L is regular.
Pumping length p. For s = 0p 1p :
s = xyz, ∣xy∣ ≤ p, ∣y∣ > 0.
y = 0k , k > 0. Pump y : xy 2 z = 0p+k 1p , which is not in L.
7 & 8. Regular Expressions
1. Odd number of 1’s: (01∗ 1)∗ .
2. Strings ending in 00: (0 + 1)∗ 00.
3. L1 : Same as (2).
4. L2 : 0(0 + 1)∗ 1.
9. CFG for Equal a’s and b’s:
S → aSb ∣ bSa ∣ ϵ
10. CFG and Unambiguity
CFG is unambiguous if every string in the language has only one parse tree.
11. Regular Language Verification
1. L = {an bm ∣n, m ≥ 1} : Regular.
2. L = {an bn ∣n ≥ 1} : Not regular (Pumping Lemma).
3. L = {am bn ∣m > n} : Not regular (requires counting).

12. CNF and GNF Conversion
Convert productions:
CNF: Every production A → BC or A → a.
GNF: A → aα, where α is a string of variables.
