Prove that every NFA can be converted to an equivalent one that has a single accept state.

Short Answer

Expert verified

Each NFA is transformed into an equivalent with a single accept state.

Step by step solution

01

Introduction

Each NFA may be convertible to a DFA of the same size. DFAs, NFAs, as well as conditionals are all the same thing. In above question through we can see proper correction or we can in technical language output in step 2.

02

Explanation

Below we can see the above question related answer.

Make M a NFA (non deterministic finite automatic)

Let role="math" localid="1663185624203" Nbe a second NFA with only one approve state,qfinal-

We go over each accept state Mand I.

  1. create it a semi state
  2. add a -transition from such a stage toqfinal

After that, we'll receive NFA N.

There will be no transfers into qfinalif Mdoes not have any accept states.

From Now, we can communicate on this topic further.

03

Simplification

Then,

M=Q,Σ,δ,q0,FthenN=(Qν{qfinal},,δ,q0,{qfinal}foranyqQanda

δ'(q,a)=δ(q,a)ifaorqFδ(q,a){qfinal}ifa=andqF

Andq'(qfinal,a)=

Thus, we obtain N by converting each accept state ofrole="math" localid="1663186183860" M to a non-accepting state and adding a crossover from such a state to qfinal.

As a result, MequalsN.

As a result, each NFA is transformed into an equivalent with a single accept state.

a. Let Abe an infinite regular language. Prove thatA can be split into two infinite disjoint regular subsets.

b. LetBandD be two languages. Write BDifBDand Dcontains infinitely many strings that are not in B. Show that if BandD are two regular languages whereBD , then we can find a regular languageC where BCD.

The pumping lemma says that every regular language has a pumping length P , such that every string in the language can be pumped if it has length p or more. If P is a pumping length for language A, so is any length p'pThe minimum pumping length for A is the smallest p that is a pumping length for A . For example, if A=01*, the minimum pumping length is 2.The reason is that the string s=0is in A and has length 1 yet s cannot be pumped; but any string A in of length 2 or more contains a 1 and hence can be pumped by dividing it so that x=0,y=1,andzis the rest. For each of the following languages, give the minimum pumping length and justify your answer.
