Prove that every NFA can be converted to an equivalent one that has a single accept state.

Short Answer

Expert verified

Each NFA is transformed into an equivalent with a single accept state.

Step by step solution

01

Introduction

Each NFA may be convertible to a DFA of the same size. DFAs, NFAs, as well as conditionals are all the same thing. In above question through we can see proper correction or we can in technical language output in step 2.

02

Explanation

Below we can see the above question related answer.

Make M a NFA (non deterministic finite automatic)

Let role="math" localid="1663185624203" Nbe a second NFA with only one approve state,qfinal-

We go over each accept state Mand I.

  1. create it a semi state
  2. add a -transition from such a stage toqfinal

After that, we'll receive NFA N.

There will be no transfers into qfinalif Mdoes not have any accept states.

From Now, we can communicate on this topic further.

03

Simplification

Then,

M=Q,Σ,δ,q0,FthenN=(Qν{qfinal},,δ,q0,{qfinal}foranyqQanda

δ'(q,a)=δ(q,a)ifaorqFδ(q,a){qfinal}ifa=andqF

Andq'(qfinal,a)=

Thus, we obtain N by converting each accept state ofrole="math" localid="1663186183860" M to a non-accepting state and adding a crossover from such a state to qfinal.

As a result, MequalsN.

As a result, each NFA is transformed into an equivalent with a single accept state.

A finite state transducer (FST) is a type of deterministic finite automaton whose output is a string and not just accept or reject. The following are state diagrams of finite state transducers T1andT2.

Each transition of an FST is labeled with two symbols, one designating the input symbol for that transition and the other designating the output symbol. The two symbols are written with a slash, I, separating them. In T1, the transition from q1toq2has input symbol 2 and output symbol 1. Some transitions may have multiple input–output pairs, such as the transition in T1from q1to itself. When an FST computes on an input string w, it takes the input symbols w1···wnone by one and, starting at the start state, follows the transitions by matching the input labels with the sequence of symbols w1···wn=w. Every time it goes along a transition, it outputs the corresponding output symbol. For example, on input 2212011, machine T1enters the sequence of states q1,q2,q2,q2,q2,q1,q1,q1and produces output 1111000. On input abbb, T2outputs 1011. Give the sequence of states entered and the output produced in each of the following parts.

a. T1on input011

b. T1on input211

c. T1on input121

d. T1on input0202

e. T2on input b

f. T2on input bbab

g. T2on input bbbbbb

h. T2on input localid="1663158267545" ε
