Pumping Lemma, in short
99
Observation:Every language of finite size has to be regular.
(We can easily construct an NFA that accepts every string in the language, or a union of regular expressions)
Therefore, every non-regular languagehas to be of infinite size. (contains an infinite number of strings)
100
Suppose you want to prove thatAn infinite language is not regular
1. Assume the opposite: is regular
2. The pumping lemma should hold for
3. Use the pumping lemma to obtain a contradiction
L
L
L
4. Therefore, is not regular L
101
Explanation of Step 3: How to get a contradiction with pumping lemma
i. Find a particular string which satisfies the conditions of the pumping lemma
Lw
ii. Write xyzw
iii. Show that Lzxyw i for some 1i
iv. This gives a contradiction, since from pumping lemma Lzxyw i
102
Note: It suffices to show that only one stringgives a contradiction
Lw
You don’t need to obtaincontradiction for every Lw

NFA DFA
Subset ConstructionDelmängdkonstruktion
107
Convert an NFA to DFAusing the subset construction
108
Each state of the DFA is a set of states of the NFA.
Start by the initial state of the DFA which is the -closure of the initial state of the NFA (all the states you reach by -transitions from the initial state) .
CLOSE{0}={0, 1, 3}=S0
109
Determine the transition function of the DFA on all inputs. Begin with the initial state S0, and determine the transition on input a.
CLOSE{0} = {0, 1, 3} = S0
(S0, a) = CLOSE{1, 2}
110
The -closure of the set {1, 2} is {1, 2, 3}This is a new state in the DFA, call it S1.
CLOSE{0} = {0, 1, 3} = S0
(S0, a) = CLOSE{1, 2} = {1, 2, 3} = S1
111
With the initial state S0, determine the transition on input b. CLOSE{0} = {0, 1, 3} = S0
(S0, a) = CLOSE{1, 2} = {1, 2, 3} = S1
(S0, b) = CLOSE{3}
112
The -closure of the set {3} is {1, 3}. This is a new state in the DFA, call it S2.
CLOSE{0} = {0, 1, 3} = S0
(S0, a) = CLOSE{1, 2} = {1, 2, 3} = S1
(S0, b) = CLOSE{3} = {1, 3} = S2
113
Determine the transition function of the DFA from state S1 oninputs a and b. On a there is no where to go in the NFA, so wecreate a “sink“(“trap”) state for DFA.(S0, a) = CLOSE{1, 2} = {1, 2, 3} = S1
(S0, b) = CLOSE{3} = {1, 3} = S2
(S1, a) = CLOSE{} = = S3
114
Determine the transition function of the DFA from state S1 oninputs a and b. On b there is a transition to an existing state S2.(S0, a) = CLOSE{1, 2} = {1, 2, 3} = S1
(S0, b) = CLOSE{3} = {1, 3} = S2
(S1, a) = CLOSE{} = = S3
(S1, b) = CLOSE{3} = {1, 3} = S2
115
Determine the transition from state S2 on inputs a and b. (S0, a) = CLOSE{1, 2} = {1, 2, 3} = S1
(S0, b) = CLOSE{3} = {1, 3} = S2
(S1, a) = CLOSE{} = = S3
(S1, b) = CLOSE{3} = {1, 3} = S2
(S2, a) = CLOSE{} = = S3
(S2, b) = CLOSE{3} = {1, 3} = S2
116
Determining the transition from state S2 on inputs a and b is easy;from the empty set of states there are no transitions in the NFA. Inthe DFA this is represented by a transition from the empty setback to itself.
117
The final states of the DFA are determined from the final states of the NFA. State 3 was the only final state in the NFA. (Any set of NFA states containing a final state is a final state in the DFA.)
