  1. Regular Language Algorithms

  2. Algorithms • We have seen many algorithms for manipulating computational systems for the regular languages. • Each treats these computational systems as data that can be manipulated. • It is worthwhile trying to catalog these algorithms.

  3. Trivial algorithms • The following algorithms are trivial • DFA to NFA • NFA to L-NFA • NFA to GenNFA • A DFA is a quintupleD=(Q,S,s,F,d) • d:QS ¾®Q • An NFA is a quintupleN=(Q,S,s,F,T) • T: Q  S ¾® Set(Q) • A L-NFA is a quintupleL=(Q,S,s,F,d) • d:Q (S È L) ¾®Set(Q) • GenNFA is a quintuple A=(Q,S,s,F,d) • d: Q  Q  ¾® RegExp(S) • Q is a set of states • S is a set of characters (the alphabet) • S Is a State called the start state • F is a set of states called the final states

  4. Closure Algorithms over DFAs • Reversal • Reverse arrows • Start becomes final, final becomes start • Complement • Swap the status of final and non-final states • Union • Product construction • Any pair with at least one final state is final • Intersection • Product construction • Only the pair with both final states is final • Kleene Star • New start and final states, L-transisitions, and loop backs. • DFA to L-NFA

  5. Transformations • NFA to DFA • Subset construction, union of delta ranges • DFA to Minimal DFA • Partition states into equivalence classes • Reg Exp to NFA • Via GenNFA where transitions are on RE • Start with 2 states with RE as transition • Add new states by structure of RE on transition • DFA to Reg Exp (Via GenNFA) • By state removal, • Remove states one at a time, and add RE to transitions

  6. Acceptance algorithms • DFA • Delta extension • Last state is amongst final states • NFA • Delta extension to sets of states • Reg Exp • Via empty predicate and derivatives of RE
