A context-sensite grammar for the language of sequences of two different types of parentheses with possible intersections?

Consider the language $L$ over the alphabet (,[,),] such that any word $w \in L$ if formed as a shuffle of two (possible empty) well-formed sequence of parenthesis: one over (,) and another over [,]. ...

Intersection between CSL and CFL?

I am trying to find a proof of A ∩ B where A is a CSL and B is a CFL. Also I know that CFL is a strict subset of CSL. Does that mean that their intersection will give CFL. I am stuck

Why do non Context Free languages need more stacks?

In an example question sheet for my exams our professor included “Know to explain why for non CF languages 1 stack is not enough.” We haven’t delved into CS and reclusively enumerable languages much ...

{a^n b^n c^n | n>=1} - PDA

I just started learning context free grammar and Pushdown Automata, I tried implementing this particular language via a PDA, despite being told this language is context sensitive. How I attempted it ...

Why Linear bounded automata requires Nondeterministic Turing machine ? Why not Deterministic Turing machine?

Going through the topic of LBA, i.e., Linear bounded automata. I found that LBA requires the NTM with some constraints on tape. I found the same information from different sources. But I did not get ...

Difference between linear bound automata and a Turing machine

Can anyone give an example where a language can be rejected by linear bounded automata and accepted by a Turing machine. Is there any proof that a linear bounded automata is less powerful than a ...

How a regular language , context free language and context sensitive grammar are used in compilers to shape up the languge? [duplicate]

I know that regular language can be used for pattern matching , context free language is used for syntax matching and context sensitive for semantic or meaning of the sentence . But i have found it ...

What kind of languages can be recognized by a restricted one-tape deterministic Turing Machine?

During a lesson, our TA asked: What kind of languages can be recognized by a deterministic Turing Machine such that we can use only a tape portion that contains the input? My thoughts: my ...

Why can't linear bounded automata accept an empty string?

The linear bounded automata (LBA) is defined as follows: A linear bounded automata is a nondeterministic Turing machine $M=(Q,\Sigma,\Gamma,\delta,q_0,\square,F)$ (as in the definition of TM) with ...

Context free grammar $\{a^n b^m c^k\; : \;k>m \; \; k>n\}$

Is this a CFL? $$\{a^n b^m c^k\; : \;k>m \; \; k>n\}$$ When on seeing $a$'s and $b$'s I push them onto stack and as I see $ c$ as input if $ TOS$ is $b$ ,I pop them ,again if $TOS$ is a,I pop ...
