### Defining a context-free grammar for $\{w \in \{0, 1\}^* : \#_0(w) = \#_1(w)\}$ [duplicate]

I have a language where each string in the language has even amount of $0$'s as $1$'s (e.g., $0101$, $1010$, $1100$, $0011$, $10$ are all in the language). I was hoping to define a context-free ...

### Proving correctness of a CFG by induction on length of strings generated [duplicate]

Consider the following grammar with starting symbol of $S$. $$S \rightarrow 0S11\;|\;S1\;|\;0$$ Let $L = \{0^i1^j:\; \ge 1\; and\; j \ge2i-2\}$ . Give a formal proof of the following claim : For all ...

### A context free grammar for the language of even-length non-palindromes [duplicate]

I am trying to find a context free grammar for the language $L = \{xy \mid |x|=|y| \text{ and } x≠y^R\}$ where $y^R$ is the reverse of string y and $x, y\in \{a,b\}^*$ . Here is a possible ...

### Tools or techniques for studying the language a CFG produces? [duplicate]

When developing a CFG, I find that one can be confused about whether the grammar is correct, i.e. whether it recognizes only the required strings and not other strings. But this can be hard to see? ...

### Context Free Grammar for a language [duplicate]

I have a language L = {a^n b^m c^k | n = m or m != k} When I was working the problem out this is what I got: S -> S1|S2 S1 -> AC A -> aAb|$\lambda$ C -> Cc |$\lambda$ S2 -> BD B -> aB|$\lambda$ D ->...

### Grammar that generates a language with more “a” than “b” [duplicate]

I need to find a grammar that generates the language composed by all words that have more $a$ than $b$ given an alphabet $\{a,b\}$ I tried the following production rules: ...

### Context-free grammar for binary words

I am supposed to create CFG for this languague: $L= \{w : w \in \{a, b\}^*, |w_b| = 3k, k \geq 0 \}$ where $|w_b|$ is count of terminals $b$ in $w$. For example: aa - OK, no 'b' abb - wrong, only ...

### Prove the equivalence between a CFG and a Context free language

I have to prove that the language $L=\{a^ib^j:2i=3j+1\}$ and the CFG G with the following rewrite rules: $S\rightarrow a^2Tb$ $T\rightarrow a^3Tb^2 |\epsilon$ are equivalent to each other. I'm ...

### Context-sensitive grammar for language $L = \left\{ww \mid w \in \left\{a,b\right\}^* \right\}$ [duplicate]

Find a context-sensitive grammar for language $L = \left\{ww \mid w \in \left\{a,b\right\}^* \right\}$ where $L \in DCSL \setminus CFL$. I find this task from old exam but there is no solution. I try ...

### Proving $L = \{ w : w \neq w^R \}$ over $\Sigma = \{0,1\}$ is CFL

I'm trying to prove $L = \{ w : w \neq w^R \}$ over $\Sigma = \{0,1\}$ is CFL. Define $G = ({S,T}, \Sigma, R, S)$ where $R = S \to 0S0|1S1|0T1|1T0, \; T \to 0T|1T|\varepsilon$. Now I want to show ...
