Tutorial 5
Chin
Reminder
• Homework 3 is due tomorrow.
• Midterm is on next Monday.• Review session tomorrow.
• You can get back homework 2 after this tutorial.
Homework 2
• We only saya language is regular or non-regular.
• We do not say a string is regular or non-regular
• Never writex is regular
• We only say a string is in a language or not.
Homework 2
• To show a language is not regular(a) You only have to choose one string.(b) The chosen string should be in terms of n.(c) You cannot choose what u, v, w are.
e.g. u = (ab)n-1, v = (ab)n, w = (bc)n. wrong!You have to consider every possible partitions of uvw.
(d) You only have to choose one value for i.
Homework 2
• Problem 1(a) Most answers are incorrect.
Some of you used the following arguments:Replace
with
What if:
q0 NFAa
q0 NFA
q0 NFAa q1
b
Homework 2
• Problem 1(a) There can be multiple accepting states in the DFA
Many states can reach an accepting state on ‘b’
Homework 2
• Problem 1(c) Many students drew the following
x and y are not fixed.
NFANFAq0x y
q0
Homework 2
• Problem 1(d) A few students did the following
Let L1 = {anb: n ≥ 0}, L2 = {an: n ≥ 0}
Then L1L2 = {anban : n ≥ 0}. wrong!
The n in L1 and the n in L2 are independent.
L1L2 = {anbam : n, m ≥ 0}.
Homework 2
• Problem 2(a) Some of you chose the strings (a+b)n(b+c)n
The proof fails if I take bnbn, which is of the above form.
Choose one string is okay. e.g. ancn
Homework 2
• Problem 2(c) L3 = {w : w does not have the same number of as, bs, and cs}
A few students got L3 wrong.
(b) Many students let u = (ac)n-1, v = (ac), w = (abc)n.
You cannot choose what u, v, w are!v can be any nonempty substring of the first n
characters of the string. e.g. v can be the first ‘a’ of the string.
Homework 2
• Problem 3(b) To show two states are distinguishable
Write down on what inputs one of them goes to an accepting state but the other does not.
Homework 2
• Problem 4(b) Some of you did not handle names without any ‘a’.
(c) A few of you did not handle the names “crystal”.
(d) A few of you missed the case “rin”.
Pushdown Automata
• NFA with a stack
• Read a, pop b, and push c• Push c to the stack after popping b• a, b, c can be • Use $ to mark stack bottom
q0a, b/c q1
Pushdown Automata
• PDA = CFG
• Languages that can be represented by PDA/CFG are context-free.

• Design a PDA for the following. = {a, b, c}L1 = {x : x has fewer a’s than b’s and c’s together}
L2 = {aibjck : i = j or j = k}

Pumping lemma for Context-free languages
To show a language L is not context free:For every n, choose one z of length ≥ n in L, such that for every way of writing z = uvwxy where|vwx| ≤ n and|vx| ≥ 1,the string uviwxiy is not in L for some i ≥ 0.
• z depends on n• u, w, y can be empty string• v, x can also be empty string, but not both.• i can be 0 (very useful)•You only have to choose one z•Unlike the regular language version, vwx can be anywhere in z.
TemplateSuppose L is context-free. Let n be the pumping length.
Then z = _______ (z should contain n somewhere) is in L.
Write z = uvwxy, where |vwx| ≤ n and |vx|≥ 1.
Argue! no matter how we write z = uvwxy, the string uv_wx_y is not in L (choose one i in _, i can be 0)
Therefore L is not regular.
Pumping lemma for Context-free languages
Pumping lemma for CFG
• Show that the following languages are not context-freeL1 = {anbmanbm : m, n ≥ 0}. = {a, b}.
L2 = {x#y#z : yR is a substring of xz; x, y, z {a,b}*}.∈
= {a, b, #}.
Pumping lemma for CFG
L1 = {anbmanbm : m, n ≥ 0}. = {a, b}.
Suppose L is context-free. Let n be the pumping length.Then z = _anbnanbn_ (z should contain n somewhere) is in L.Write z = uvwxy, where |vwx| ≤ n and |vx|≥ 1.
Argue! no matter how we write z = uvwxy, the string uv_wx_y is not in L (choose one i in _, i can be 0)
How to argue?
