Step by step solution

01

Explain the given information

Given that Theorem 1.49 , states that the class of regular languages are closed under star operation.

02

(a) Give the state diagram of NFA recognizing the star of the language

Consider the language L1=w|wcontainsminimumthree1's. Let M1be the NFA that recognizes localid="1663238901072" L1.

Consider that, localid="1663238860678" L=L*1, let localid="1663238872432" Mbe the NFA that recognizes localid="1663238885929" L.

localid="1663238918361" L1=0.1*10.1*10.1*10.1*

The NFA localid="1663238930433" M1that recognizes the language localid="1663238941815" L1is as follows,

Therefore, the state diagram localid="1663239665261" Mthat recognizes localid="1663239651469" Lis as follows.

03

(b) Give the state diagram of NFA recognizing the star of the language

Consider the language L1=w|wincludesminimumtwo0sandmostlyone1s.

Let M1 be the NFA that recognizes the language L1.

Let L=L*1, and Mbe the NFA that recognizes L.

The state diagram of M1is as follows,

Therefore the state diagram of Mis as follows,

04

(c) Give the state diagram of NFA recognizing the star of the language

The language describes the empty string.

The state diagram of NFA that recognizes the empty string is as follows,

Show that the Post Correspondence Problem is undecidable over the binary alphabet.=0,1.

In the following solitaire game, you are given anm×m board. On each of itsm2 positions lies either a blue stone, a red stone, or nothing at all. You play by removing stones from the board until each column contains only stones of a single color and each row contains at least one stone. You win if you achieve this objective. Winning may or may not be possible, depending upon the initial configuration. LetSOLITAIRE={<G>|G is a winnable game configuration}. Prove that SOLITAIREis NP-complete.

Find the error in the following proof that 2 = 1. Consider the equation a = b. Multiply both sides by a to obtain a2 = ab. Subtract b2from both sides to get a2 - b2 = ab - b2. Now factor each side, (a+b) (a-b) = b (a-b),and divide each side by (a-b)to get a + b = bFinally, letequal 1, which shows that 2 = 1

A two-dimensional finite automaton (2DIM-DFA) is defined as follows. The input is an m×nrectangle, for any m,n2. The squares along the boundary of the rectangle contain the symbol # and the internal squares contain symbols over the input alphabet . The transition function δ:Q×#Q×L,R,U,Dindicates the next state and the new head position (Left, Right, Up, Down). The machine accepts when it enters one of the designated accept states. It rejects if it tries to move off the input rectangle or if it never halts. Two such machines are equivalent if they accept the same rectangles. Consider the problem of determining whether two of these machines are equivalent. Formulate this problem as a language and show that it is undecidable.
