By induction on the number of operators in the regex. Base case: L has a regular expression with 0 operators. Then the regex should be one of Ø ?

Equivalence of DFA and Regular Expressions
In general how do we convert a regular expression to an NFA? A regular expression over ? is an expression formed by the following rules. ? The symbols ? and
Deterministic automata for extended regular expressions
First the regular expressions are studied then the Thomp- son [1] method is introduced to produce NFA from DFA. Similarly
Lecture 23: NFAs Regular expressions and NFA DFA
regular expression – Build NFA – Convert NFA to DFA using subset construction – Minimize resulting DFA Theorem: A language is recognized by a DFA (or NFA) if and only if it has a regular expression You need to know this fact but we won’t ask you anything about the “only if” direction from DFA/NFA to regular expression For fun we

any regular expression is regular: Theorem: For any regular expression R there is an NFA N such that ?(R) = (? N) N has exactly one accepting state N has no transitions into its start state N has no transitions out of its accepting state

We will convert a DFA to a regular expression as follows: (A) Convert DFA to a NFA adding new initial and ?nal states (B) Remove all states one-by-one until we have only the initial and ?nal states

How to convert a regular expression to a DFA?
- Humans can convert a regular expression to a DFA fairly easily using just a few heuristic rules. But a computer needs an algorithm. There are two steps: 1. Convert the regular expression to an NFA. 2. Convert the NFA to a DFA. This video covers step 1, converting a regular expression to an NFA. Related videos cover the second step.
What is the difference between NFA and DFA?
- The finite automata are called NFA when there exist many paths for specific input from the current state to the next state. 3. Every NFA is not DFA, but each NFA can be translated into DFA. 4. NFA is defined in the same way as DFA but with the following two exceptions, it contains multiple next states, and it contains transition.
When is a string accepted by DFA D?
- So a string is accepted by DFA D if, and only if, it is accepted by NFA N. Steps for Converting NFA to DFA: Step 1: Initially Q' = ?
Is there a DFA that also accepts L?
- There exists a DFA D= (?, Q’, q’ 0 , F’, ’) that also accepts L. (L(N) = L(D)). Proof: By allowing each state in the DFA D to represent a set of states in the NFA N, we are able to prove through induction that D is equivalent to N.
