As I know $L=\{w\in\{a,b\}^*\mid n_a(w)=n_b(w)\}$ is a deterministic context free language. I have drawn a push dawn automata for this language in the format of Sipser as the following enter image description here

However, as you may know, in Sipser's format, the transition $$\varepsilon,$;\varepsilon$$ means that "don't read any thing from the input" and it doesn't mean "read $\varepsilon$ from the input". In Sipser's format this is a non-deterministic push down automata, since in deterministic one, we have that if there is a transition $$\varepsilon,$;\varepsilon$$ outgoing from the state $q_1$ then it must not be an outgoing transition $$a,$;a$ $$ from that state.

Could you please help me to draw a DPDA for that language in Sipser's format?

I myself have found that DPDA as follows: enter image description here

    $\begingroup$ OK. Seems you can actually merge states q2 and q3 into one? $\endgroup$ Dec 11, 2020 at 13:32
