ANALYSIS
A fundamental result of automata theory is that any recursively additive set, or sequence of
partially recursive functions, is an accepting set. Typically, the receiver is a bidirectional
unbounded tape automaton. A useful taxonomy of receptors associated with generative
grammar theory developed by American linguist Noam Chomsky. Generative grammar is a
system of analysis that is often the same as linguistics. In this way, a language can be thought
of as a finite set of rules that can produce sentences. In the context of linguistics or automata
theory, the use of generative grammar is the whole of generating and describing the
grammatical structures of natural languages or automata-oriented languages. A simple
grammar of English fragments defined by the 12 rules can be used to introduce the main
ideas. In this simple grammar, each line is of the form g → g' (read "g' replaces g"), which
means that g' can be rewritten as g in a string of symbols. The symbol S appearing in the
rules can be understood as representing the grammatical category "sentence", Pr representing
"pronoun", VP representing "verb phrase", NP representing "nominal phrase" and so on.
Symbols marked with a hyphen (-) form the set VN of non-terminals.The English expression
"she" etc. appearing in the line constitutes the terminal set VT. S is the initial symbol.
English sentences beginning with S can be deduced by applying rules. The derivation starts w
ith S, the first line allows rewriting Pr VP for S, which gives Pr VP, the fourth line allows rew
riting V NP to VP, which gives Pr V NP, etc. (see 8). The last step produces the terminal strin
g or phrase; it consists solely of elements of the terminal vocabulary VT. No rules apply, so n
o further steps are possible.
A context-free or sentence-
structured grammar, while obviously not providing a fully adequate description of a dialect, d
oes have the desired properties just mentioned. For this family, the rule g → g' contains a sing
le left non-terminal, as in the case of finite-
state grammars, but allows g' to be any word in (VT ∪ VN)*. The example discussed above is
a context-
free grammar. This grammar takes into account the structure and ambiguity of sentences (see
9).
The
stack acceptor, which plays a key role in computer programming theory, is an automaton corr
esponding to a context-free grammar.
A fingerprint receiver is a finite state receiver equipped with an additional bidirectional stora
ge band, called fingerprint memory. At the start of the operation, the tape is empty. Stores the
syntactic structure used to parse the sentence being read during the automaton calculation. St
orage moves left when pressed and can only read the last symbol pressed, then the next after t
he last, and so on. If both the input and storage tapes are empty when the automaton halts in t
he final (one-way) state, then the input is accepted.
The quadruple representation of the Turing machine can be replaced here by a clearer list of r
ules that model the action of the band in its application. Rules can be formulated for a hash ac
ceptor P of a context-free language L of terms xcx-
1, where x is a word of the abstract alphabet {a, b} and x-
1 is the inversion of x . The first of these rules can be stated as follows, if P is in state q0 and
scans a on the input and stores any (defined) symbol on the printout, it shifts the strip to the le
ft, removes a from l 'enter and store a on pressure Delete a and enter state q1. The symbolic e
xpression of the rule can be: q0a → aq1. Another rule could be of the following form: if P is i
n state q1 scanning c in input and everything in memory, it shifts the input to the left, clears c
and does nothing with the memory - in in short, q1c → q2.
Another requirement is that if P in q2 finds a in the input and a in the store, then it shifts the i
nput left, deletes a, shifts the store right, and deletes a (see 10). An example can easily be con
structed to show that under certain rules a set such as abcba is accepted (see 11). If q0abcba
marks the start of the computation, the initial state q0 searches for the first a in abcba on the i
nput tape and empties it on the storage tape, and if q2 is the final state, the computation is det
ermined by the rules data above (see 10) Computation At the end, the automaton is in the fina
l state q2, the two strips are empty, and there are no q2 rules alone on the left, P stops, so abc
ba is accepted.
Finite transducers
The most important transducers are finite transducers or sequential machines, which can be d
escribed as one-way Turing machines with outputs.
These are the least powerful in terms of computing power, while general-
purpose machines are the most powerful. There are also mid-power transducers.
Algebraic definition
Because the frequency band and the output are unidirectional, a finite sensor T can be thought
of as a "black box" with an input coming from the right and an output coming from the left.
Therefore, T can be thought of as a quintuplet • S, Q, O, M, NÒ, where S, Q and O are non-
empty finite sets of inputs, states and outputs, respectively, and M is a function of the product
Q × S in Q and N is a function on the same domain as in O. The values
are denoted by the usual function notation M(q, s) and N(q, s), s ∊ S and q ∊ Q M and N can
be extended to the domain Q × S by the four relations.
Postal machine
The type of automaton studied is structurally different from the Turing machines, but is identi
cal in computing power. Mathematician E.L. Mail (USA) in 1936 proposed an automaton (or
algorithm) which is a pair of finite sequences •1, a1Ò, •2, a2Ò, ···, •m, amÒ, such that ai is ei
ther the two associated moves The band command is a right or left square, a command to prin
t symbols, including spaces, limited alphabets, or integers. The post office starts at 1, obeys th
e instruction an in step n, then goes to step n + 1, unless an is an integer m, in which case it g
oes to step n if the swept square at n is marked m steps , or go to step n+1 if this box is empty
. The postal machine was the prototype of a programming scheme developed 10 years later b
y von Neumann and his collaborators. For any partially recursive function, it is possible to fin
d a Post machine capable of computing it.
CONCLUSION
More general automata are designed to respond to changes in external conditions or other inp
uts. For example, controlling thermostats, autopilots, missile guidance systems, telephone net
works, and some types of escalators are all forms of automata.
The internal state of such devices is determined not only by their initial state, as in the case of
pendulum clocks, but can be determined by a human operator, by input from another automa
ton, or by an event or a series of events in the environment. For example, a thermostat has an
"on" or "off" state depending on the temperature. The best-known general-
purpose automata are modern electronic computers whose internal state is determined by data
input and produces a certain output.
