How to Construct DFA and NFA for Languages Divisible by 6 or 10?

In summary, a finite automata is a mathematical model used to recognize patterns in strings of symbols. It consists of a finite set of states, input symbols, a transition function, and start and accept states. The difference between a deterministic and non-deterministic finite automata is that a DFA processes one input symbol at a time while an NFA can process multiple input symbols. Finite automata are used in computer science and mathematics to analyze patterns, design programming languages, and compilers. An epsilon transition in an NFA allows for movement between states without consuming input symbols, providing more flexibility in pattern recognition. Real-life applications of finite automata include text editors, spell checkers, digital circuit design, and natural language processing.

L = {a^k / k is divisible by 6 or 10 (or both)}

Give a DFA and NFA for the above.

Can anyone do it?

My 2 cents:
This is my DFA for the above language.

(q_x) = accepting state where x is any integer.

>q_0-->q_1--> ... (q_6)...q_28--->(q_30)

What is a finite automata?

A finite automata is a mathematical model used to recognize patterns within strings of symbols. It consists of a finite set of states, a set of input symbols, a transition function, and a start state and a set of accept states.

What is the difference between a deterministic and non-deterministic finite automata?

A deterministic finite automata (DFA) has a unique transition for each input symbol and is able to process one input symbol at a time. A non-deterministic finite automata (NFA) has multiple transitions for each input symbol and is able to process multiple input symbols at a time.

What is the purpose of using a finite automata?

Finite automata are used in the field of computer science and mathematics to model and analyze patterns in strings of symbols. They are also used in the design and implementation of programming languages and compilers.

What is an epsilon transition in a NFA?

An epsilon transition, denoted by the symbol ε, is a special type of transition in a NFA that allows for the automata to move from one state to another without consuming any input symbol. This allows for more flexibility in the recognition of patterns.

What are some real-life applications of finite automata?

Finite automata have various real-life applications such as in text editors for searching and replacing patterns, in spell checkers, in digital circuit design, and in natural language processing for language recognition and translation.
