A DFA is a mathematical model of computation that defines a finite set of states and the current state, not on the input symbol. 1.Add a new start state with an ε-transition to the original start state.
transitions between those states, used to recognize regular languages. Moore Machine Definition 2.Add a new final state with ε-transitions from the original final states.
Formally: A DFA is a 5-tuple: A Moore Machine is a 6-tuple: 3.Eliminate states one by one, replacing transitions with equivalent regular
DFA = (Q, Σ, δ, q₀, F) M = (Q, Σ, Δ, δ, λ, q₀) Where: expressions.
Q: Finite set of states Q = Finite set of states 4.When only the new start and new final state remain, the expression on the
Σ: Input alphabet (finite set of symbols) Σ = Finite set of input symbols transition between them is the regular expression.
q₀ ∈ Q = Initial state
λ: Q → Δ = Output function Step 1: Add new start and final states
NFA (Nondeterministic Finite Automaton) Let’s call the new states S (start) and F (final) Add:
An NFA is similar to a DFA but allows for multiple possible transitions from a state for Let’s build a Moore Machine that outputs 1 if the number of 1s seen so far is even, S --ε--> q0
the same input symbol, and may include ε-transitions. and 0 if it is odd. q1 --ε--> F
Formally: An NFA is a 5-tuple: States: q0: Even number of 1s seen → Output = 1 Now our states are: S, q0, q1, F
NFA = (Q, Σ, δ, q₀, F) q1: Odd number of 1s seen → Output = 0 Step 2: Eliminate state
L(A) = { w ∈ Σ* | A accepts w }
If A is a finite automaton (DFA or NFA), then the language of A, denoted L(A), is: q0 | 1 So: S --> q1 --a*--> q1 --ε--> F becomes:
q1 | 0 S --a a*--> F or simply: a a*
This is equivalent to: a+ (one or more a's)
Final Regular Expression: a+
Ambiguity in CFG Chomsky Normal Form (CNF) is a specific way of writing Context-Free Grammars NFA minimization
A CFG is said to be ambiguous if at least one string in the language can be generated (CFGs) where all the production rules follow a strict format. Unlike DFAs, there's no standard or guaranteed minimal form for an NFA. That means
in more than one way—that is, it has more than one leftmost derivation, more than rules for CNF:-A CFG is in Chomsky Normal Form if every production rule is of the minimization of an NFA is not straightforward like it is for a DFA.
one rightmost derivation, or more than one parse tree. form: But you can minimize an NFA indirectly by converting it into a DFA first. Here’s how:
A grammar is ambiguous if there’s confusion about how a string is structured or 1.A → BC Steps for NFA Minimization (via DFA)

Consider this grammar: B and C are not start symbols Use the subset construction algorithm.
S → S + S | S * S | (S) | a 2.A → a This turns the NFA into an equivalent DFA.
Let’s take the string: a + a * a A single terminal symbol 2.Minimize the DFA
This string can be derived in two different ways: 3.(Optional): S → ε Apply the DFA minimization algorithm to get the smallest possible DFA.
First parse tree (interpreting + before *): Allowed only if the empty string ε is in the language
Second parse tree (interpreting * before +): Uses:-CNF is useful in parsing algorithms, like CYK
Both derivations result in the same string, but with different interpretations, meaning It makes analysis of grammars more systematic and efficient.
the grammar is ambiguous. Any context-free grammar can be converted into CNF.
obtain dfa to obtain strings of a's and b's having exactly one a What is a DPDA? Steps to Convert NFA to DFA
construct a DFA that accepts strings over {a, b} which contain exactly one ‘a’ (and any A DPDA stands for Deterministic Pushdown Automaton. It is a type of pushdown Step 1: Start with the NFA
number of b's). automaton (PDA) that uses a stack and has only one possible move for each Assume the NFA is defined as:
Language Description: Alphabet: {a, b} combination of input, state, and stack symbol. NFA = (Q, Σ, δ, q₀, F)
Strings must contain: Exactly one a A DPDA is a 7-tuple: Step 2: Create DFA States as Subsets of NFA State
Any number (including 0) of bs M = (Q, Σ, Γ, δ, q₀, Z₀, F) Step 3: Define the Start State of the DFA
Constructing the DFA Example: DPDA for Language L = { aⁿbⁿ | n ≥ 0 } The start state of the DFA is the ε-closure of the NFA start state (q₀).
We’ll define 3 main states: From State Input Stack Top Action (Next State, Stack Action) If there are no ε-transitions, it's just {q₀}.
For each DFA state (which is a set of NFA states) and each input symbol a ∈ Σ:
q0 – Start state: no a has been seen yet q0 a Z (q0, XZ) Step 4: Construct Transitions for Each Input Symbol
q1 – One a has been seen q0 a X (q0, XX)
q2 – More than one a → Trap/reject state q0 b X (q1, ε) The result is the new DFA state for that input symbol.
Transition Table Step 5: Mark Final States
q1 b X (q1, ε)
Current State Input Next State Any DFA state (i.e., subset of NFA states) that includes at least one NFA final state
q1 ε Z (q2, Z)
q0 a q1 becomes a DFA final state.
q0 b q0 Accept when reaching q2
q1 a q2
q1 b q1
q2 a q2
q2 b q2
Final States: q1 is the only accepting state, because it means exactly one a has been
seen.

A->0A| ε An epsilon transition (ε-transition) is a special type of transition in an NFA, where: Grammar Rules

Hence, the LMD will be as follows − symbol. - S → Ab
