Context-free languages are not closed under intersection or complement. This will be shown later. 2. Page 3. 1.5 Intersection with a regular language.
? What about Context Free Languages? Closure Properties. ? Sorry Charlie. ? CFLs are not closed under intersection. ? Meaning:.
Summary of Decision Properties. ? As usual when we talk about “a CFL” we really mean “a representation for the CFL
Closure Properties of CFL's. The class of context-free languages is closed under these three operations: Union Concatenation
of the Pumping Lemma Closure Properties of Regular Languages Properties of Context-Free Languages: Normal Forms for Context-Free Grammars
Closure Properties. Theorem: CFLs are closed under union. If L1 and L2 are CFLs then L1 ? L2 is a CFL. Proof. 1. Let L1 and L2 be generated by the CFG
Language of palindromes: Lpal. A palindrome is a string that reads the same forward and backward. Ex: otto madamimadam
[Action [Thing The dog] barked [Property/Amount nonstop for five hours]] CFG = Context-Free Grammar = Phrase Structure Grammar. = BNF = Backus-Naur Form.
How do we determine whether or not a given language is regular? properties of regular sets (proofs not required) regular grammars-right.

Summary of Decision Properties As usual when we talk about “a CFL” we really mean “a representation for the CFL e g a CFG or a PDA accepting by final state or empty stack There are algorithms to decide if: 1 String w is in CFL L 2 CFL L is empty 3 CFL L is infinite
Finding Generating Variables Proof of Theorem 7 4: We want to show that is added to new_vars if and only if ? ? for some ? ? “Only if”: We must show that if is added to new_vars
A context-free grammar (or CFG) is an entirely different formalism for defining certain languages CFGs are best explained by example Arithmetic Expressions Suppose we want to describe all legal arithmetic expressions using addition subtraction multiplication and division Here is one possible CFG: ? int ? E Op E ? (E)
