### Is this language context-free? $\Sigma$ = {a,b,#} L = {x1#x2#...#xk : k$\geq$2, every $x_i \in$ {a,b}* and xi $\neq$ xj for every pair i $\neq$ j} [duplicate]

Is this language context-free? $\Sigma$ = {a,b,#}, L = {x1#x2#...#xk : k$\geq$2, every $x_i \in$ {a,b}* and xi $\neq$ xj for every pair i $\neq$ j} I think it is not, because the PDA can't memorize ...

### Prove or disprove if L is CFL? [duplicate]

Given $L=\{a^ib^jc^k | i\neq j \space and \space j=k\}$. Is this CFL? How do I write CFG for it or prove it with pumping lemma? Thanks.

### Is $\{a^mb^nc^{mn}\mid m>n\}$ a context-free language? [duplicate]

Been trying to figure it out for an hour myself and another hour looking around, I cannot find anything with the $c^{mn}$ part. $$L=\{a^mb^nc^{mn}\mid m>n\}$$

### Does a pushdown automata exists for the following language?

I have came across a question stating that language $L = a^n b^n c^{2n}$ is not a context free language and hence, no PDA can be constructed for it. But what I am wondering is that, if I add another ...

### How to prove that $L = \{a^n b^m a^n b^m \mid n,m \ge 0\}$ is not a CFL?

I'm stuck with the proof. I've tried Ogden's lemma but it doesn't seem to help. The problem is: Let $N$ be the constant of Ogden, let $z = a^N b^{N+1} a^N b^{N+1}$, and $z = uvwxy$. Now I should ...
