To take the union of two NFAs, you just need to add an initial state with an ϵ ϵ -transition to each of the initial states of the original NFAs. So if your L1 L 1 and L2 L 2 are

2024年9月5日 · The closure properties of regular languages under union, concatenation, and Kleene Star can be proved using the transformed NFAs. The following figures show how the union, concatenation, Kleene star of regular languages can be constructed, given NFAs with a single accepting state.

2014年2月9日 · In DFA we can do the intersection of two automata by doing the cross product of the states of the two automata and accepting those states that are accepting in both the initial automata. Union is

2012年5月20日 · The union is created by combining your two DFA or NFA into a new NFA which simultaneously accepts both languages. This is done by introducing a start state from which you can go to the start state of both your NFAs without consuming anything (only consuming ε).

We defined a language to be regular if it is recognized by some DFA. The agenda for the new few lectures is to show that three different ways of defining languages, that is NFAs, DFAs,andregexes,andinfactallequivalent;thatis,theyalldefineregularlanguages. We willshowthisequivalence,asfollows.

The subset construction shows that NFAs are not more powerful than DFAs, because any NFA can be converted into a DFA that accepts the same language. The union, intersection, complement, concatenation, and Kleene closure of regular languages are all regular languages.

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, in between:

The set of states of the concatenated NFA is just the (disjoint) union of the states of the two automata. The initial state of the new NFA is the initial state of the first NFA. The accepting states of the new NFA are the accepting states of the second NFA. Every transition from either original NFA is a transition in the new NFA.

Example: Convert an NFA to a DFA Now lets work on some of the transitions Let’s look at state 2 in NFA and complete the transitions for state 2 in the DFA Where do we go from state 2 on an “a” and “b”? On “a” to state 2 and 3 and on “b” to state 3 So what state does {2} in DFA go to for a and b? On a to {2,3} and {3} for b

2025年2月14日 · We call the result a nondeterministic finite automata (NFA). Curiously, we will show that although NFAs make it easier to describe some languages, the parallelism does not actually increase the power of our automata. These lecture notes are intended to be read in concert with Chapter 2.3-2.6 of the text (Ullman).
