More NFA examples • Construct NFAs recognizing these languages over {a,b}: • {uv ⃒ u ∈ Lb and v ∈ L2a} • {uv ⃒ u ∈ Lbaa and v ∈ L2b} • L* where L

NFA Advantage • An NFA for a language can be smaller and easier to construct than a DFA • Let L={x ∈ {0,1}*where x is a string whose next-to-last symbol is

Why Use NFA? For some languages construction is much easier Below is a DFA that accepts the same language by remembering the last three symbols 0 0 0

It is well known that, given a non-deterministic finite automaton (NFA), we can construct a deterministic finite automaton (DFA) recognizing the same language by
An NFA N accepts w if there is at least one accepting computation path on input Proof by Construction: Given any NFA N, we construct a DFA M such that L(M)

NFA – Exercise Problem: Construct an NFA that accepts the language {ab, abc}* This is the set of strings where ab and abc may be repeated Example strings
Nondeterministic Finite Automata Exercise
Informally, an NFA accepts a string if there exists at least one path in the state diagram It may be easier to construct an NFA than a DFA for a given language

This object is an example of a nondeterministic finite-state automaton, or NFA, with ϵ-transitions, we can construct an equivalent NFA M = (Σ,Q ,s ,A ,δ ) without

An NFA for a language can be smaller and easier to construct than a. DFA. • Let L={x ? {01}*
To see the correctness of this construction we describe the meaning of each state. 4 s: Haven't seen even block; reading block of 0s.
Convert the regular expression to an NFA. Page 3. Step 1: construct NFA for r. 1 .
The problem of converting a regular expression to NFA is a fundamental problem that has been well studied. However the two basic construction algorithms: (1)
Use the construction given in Theorem 1.39 to convert the following NFA N into an equivalent DFA. 1. 2. 3 ? a a a b b.
We also completed construction and testing of our SEF surveillance systems so that when trading began we were ready to go.
Construct all corresponding finite automata use priority. NFA. DFA. Construct a single non-deterministic finite automata. Construct a single deterministic.
Given an ?-NFA N this construction produces an NFA N' such that L(N')=L(N). • The construction of N' begins with N as input
In a nondeterministic finite automaton (NFA) for each state there can be zero

In a nondeterministic finite automaton (NFA) for each state there can be zero one two or more transitions corresponding to a particular symbol
Equivalence of NFAs and DFAs: The Subset Construction Observation Every DFA is an NFA! Say two automata are equivalent if they recognise the same language
An Example Nondeterministic Finite Automaton An NFA that accepts all strings over {01} that contain a 1 either at the third position from the end or at
Construct an NFA that will accept strings over alphabet {1 2 3} such that the last symbol appears at least twice but without any intervening higher symbol
Use the construction given in Theorem 1 39 to convert the following NFA N into an equivalent DFA 1 2 3 ? a a a b b
the NFA makes all possible transitions in parallel; or equivalently • the NFA clones itself and one clone explores each Subset construction example
Example: We'll construct the DFA equivalent of our “chessboard” NFA Page 15 15 Example: Subset Construction r b
In this paper we show: For a regular expression with l literals we can construct an NFA with 2l states and 4l transitions in the worst case Our algorithm
Example: L = strings having substring 101 01 – Recall DFA: – NFA: Show how to construct NFAs for more complex expressions
We try to construct a finite machine that may accept such words First suppose we want the string abc anywhere in the word In terms of states and transitions
