Let $ACFG$ be the language of all encodings $(C,x)$ where $C$ is a context free grammar that generates a language containing $x$, i.e. $ACFG$ is the acceptance problem for context free grammars. It ...

Is there an algorithm/systematic procedure to test whether a language is context-free? In other words, given a language specified in algebraic form (think of something like $L=\{a^n b^n a^n : n \in \...

For a language L we define: $\qquad A(L) = \{ x \in L \mid \text{ no proper prefix of x is in L} \} $ Are regular / context free languages closed under this operation ? For regular languages I ...

Is $a^mb^n$ where $m=n^2$ a CFL? I have a doubt regrading this problem. Say if we pop $n$ number of $a's$ from the stack for each $b$ then it is a CFL (to be exact DCFL) right? On the other hand I ...

I want to know if its possible to write a regular expression for a context free language: For example I have a language : L={a^n b ^m: n<= m +3} I have written the following regular expression ...

From Wikipedia: Off-side_rule#Implementation, there is a statement: ...This requires that the lexer hold state, namely the current indentation level, and thus can detect changes in indentation ...

We learned about the class of regular languages $\mathrm{REG}$. It is characterised by any one concept among regular expressions, finite automata and left-linear grammars, so it is easy to show that a ...

How I use the pumping lemma to prove that the language $L = \{ a^{j!} \mid j \geq1\}$ is not context-free?

When I prove some language is context free, It is too hard to find example string. Is there any tips? It takes too many time or eventually give up.

I'm trying to prove that that language isn't a context free: $ L = \{ w11w \mid w\in \Sigma^* = \{0,1\}\}$ I succeed to prove that $L = ww$ isn't context free, but not the language above. What ...

Could I get help to prove that the language $\{a^i b^j c^k \mid i>j>k\ge 0\}$ is not context free language by using pumping lemma?

Is anybody can help me please to determine is this language is Context-free language or not? L={wvw | w,v∈{a,b,c}+} for example: part of the language: acbac, abcab, bbcbb not part of the language:...

Let L = { uv composed of {0,1} | |u| = |v| and u = v } Do we agree that this language is not a Context Free Language ? If not, why ? Can you give me a pushdown automata that recognizes it or the ...

It is known that in the case of a Regular Language $L$ , the pumping lemma can be extended to apply to any sufficiently long subword of the language, ie, if $uwv \in L$ and $|w| \ge p$ then we can ...

$L = \{x \in(a,b,c,d)^* \mid -10 \leq ( |x|_a + |x|_b) - ( |x|_c + |x|_d) \leq 10 \}$ I don't have any idea. Can someone help me.
