### Existence of non-context free but decidable languages

I've been reading the decidablity and undecidability chapters in Sipser's "Intro to Theory of Computation" however I could not find an explanation on the existence of a language that is both non-...

### Determining whether $L = \{ 0^n1^{n^2} | n \ge 0 \}$ is a CFL

Assuming $L$ is defined as follows: $$L = \{ 0^n1^{n^2} | n \ge 0 \}$$ I'm trying to either prove/disprove whether $L$ is CFL or not. My intuition tells me its not CFL since I cannot express the ...

### Is it possible to prove Language L context-free? [duplicate]

Give a question: Language L= {a^n b^(n+m) a^m}, where both n and m are >=0. Is L context-free or not. If the answer is yes, can I use the following PDA to prove it? Since {a^n b^(n+m) a^m}={a^n b^n ...

### Showing that u#v with u a substring of v is not context-free

I need to find whether this language is context-free or not: {u#v | u,v belong to {a,b,c}* and u is a substring of v}, over alphabet {a,b,c,#} I suspect that it'...

### Is the language $\{a^{n^2-1} | n \in \mathbb{N}\}$ context free? and how to prove it? [duplicate]

Is the language $\{a^{n^2-1} | n \in \mathbb{N}\}$ context free? and how to prove it? I think it is, but I could not find a way to prove it by using push down automaton or any other way.
