show that every finite language is regular
How do you define a regular expression?
Usually, a regular expression (RE) is formally defined starting with the following base cases: These are all finite languages. We then obtain other REs by applying the following three recursive rules a finite number of times: In the end, you can create infinite languages using finite descriptions (a regular expression).
How to create infinite languages using a regular expression?
In the end, you can create infinite languages using finite descriptions (a regular expression). A finite language is a language containing a finite number of words. The simplest cases are those containing no words at all, the empty string, and a single string consisting of a single symbol (e.g. a in your example).
How do you know if a language is regular?
(Kleene's Theorem) A language is regular if and only if it can be obtained from finite languages by applying the three operations union, concatenation, repetition a finite number of times. I am struggling with "finite languages". It is not finite. It is the set {0, a, aa, aaa, ...} which is clearly an infinite set ( 0 = the empty string).
What if a is a finite language?
If A A is a finite language, then it contains a finite number of strings a0,a1, ⋯,an a 0, a 1, ⋯, a n. The language {ai} { a i } consisting of a single literal string ai a i is regular. The union of a finite number of regular languages is also regular. Therefore, A = {a0} ∪ {a1} ∪ ⋯ ∪ {an} A = { a 0 } ∪ { a 1 } ∪ ⋯ ∪ { a n } is regular.
