I found this How do I verify that a DFA is equivalent to a NFA? but as it states it is not really a good question more of how can I check myself during an exam. Because as you might know to do this by ...

This question is given as an exercise to me . I took a look at the solution given by the instructor which is not the same as my solution . So I thought it would be wise to ask it here considering ...

I'm struggling to find the language generated by the following grammar: Any help would be appreciated.

I have this language $L = \{a^{n}b^{3n}c^{2m} : m,n \ge 1\}$. I have to determine a free context grammar that generates L. Looks easy BUT i have a question about the grammar I found. First things ...

Let A={a,b}. So the question is to write regular expression such that L(r) which consists of all words. My answer is this: L(r)= (a+b)* a* b* (a+b)* Is this ...

I have a context-free grammar defined by the production S: S → aSbS ∣ bSaS ∣ ε I need to prove that the CFG "G" can be defined as a language L(G) where L(G) = {w ∈ {a, b}∗ ∶ na(w) = nb(w)}. ...

I am having trouble determining the language from a given context free grammar. I've been given a hint that there are 2 parts to the language but can't figure either out. $$G= (\{S,A,B,C,D,E,Z\},(0,...

I'm trying to prove (by induction) that BFS in equivalent to DFS, in the sense that they return the same set of visited nodes, but I'm stuck in the middle of some of the cases. Let $G$ be a directed ...

I've already attempted it but I am finding it difficult to understand if this is correct. give a context free grammar for the following: $$ \{p^{3m+n}q^nr^2p^m\mid m,n\ge 0 \}$$ The answer i've ...

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 ...

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 ...

I want to remove the epsilon transition from following grammar: \begin{eqnarray} S & \rightarrow & A | B \\ A & \rightarrow & \epsilon \\ B & \rightarrow & aBa \\ B & \...

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 ...

$S \rightarrow AB$ $A \rightarrow aA \mid bA \mid \epsilon$ $B \rightarrow aBb \mid \epsilon$ Does this grammar generate regular language? According to me this grammar generates language of the ...

Im having a lot of trouble proving that for the Regular expression $R_{1} = \left( a^{*} b^{*} \right)^{*}$ and $R_{2} = \left( a+b \right)^{*}$ that $L \left( R_{1} \right) = L \left( R_{2} \right)$. ...

I am trying to understand how to write the language given the predicates of the context free grammar. As an example, I have the following grammar: $S \to 0B \mid 1A$ $A \to 0 \mid 0S \mid 1AA$ $B \...

The book that I'm reading says it is equivalent But what about the aa string ? i produce it this way : $$ S\Rightarrow S_1B\Rightarrow aS_1bB\Rightarrow aaB\Rightarrow aa $$ But that language doesn'...

Is the language $L = \{ w \mid w \in (a,b)^* \wedge w \text{ is not a palindrome} \}$, context-free? I think this grammar: $ S \rightarrow aSa \mid bSb \mid aAb \mid bAa\\ A \rightarrow aAa \mid bAb \...

Can someone help with this $L= \{a^ib^j | 2i \leq 2j \leq 3i, i>0\}$

I have come up with: S→0SX | 1SY | 2SZ | SS | ϵ X→1 Y→0 | 2 Z→1 I think I am wrong. Any directions?

I'm trying to prove that the language L generated by the CFG $S \to aS | aSbS | \varepsilon$ is the language $L=\{ w \in \{a,b\}^*: \text{every prefix of $w$ has at least as many $a$'s as $b$'s} \}$.I ...

S -> aSb | A | B A -> aS | a B -> Sb | b is this the language generated by this CFG? Or am I missing something?

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 ->...

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 ...

My attempt is We can fairly easily build an expression containing no a, one a, or one aa: (b+c)(€+a+aa)(b+c) but if we want to repeat this, we need to be sure to have at least one non-a between ...

I'm given the following language: L = {w∈{0,1}* | w ends in 010 and contains 011} The task is to find a regular expression R that describes this language and ...

Given following question: Let $G$ be a context-free grammar, $G=(V, \Sigma, R, S)$, that has start variable $S$, set of variables $V = \{S\}$, set of terminals $\Sigma = \{0, 1\}$, and set of rules $...

Is a suitable way to prove that any given CFG generates (or not) any given language to draw its total language tree? What if the tree is infinite? What would then be a better way to prove that a ...

Say you are given the following CFG $G$: $$ S \to S_1 \mid S_2 \\ S_1 \to AbAS_1c \mid \epsilon \\ S_2 \to BaBS_2c \mid \epsilon \\ A \to Aa \mid \epsilon \\ B \to Bb \mid \epsilon $$ What is $L(G)$? ...

At first I thought the language would be context sensitive because it seems that it can be shown with the pumping lemma for regular languages, that it's not a regular language and analogously with the ...
