SUMMARY

The discussion focuses on determining the general form of the language recognized by a specific deterministic finite automaton (DFA) with states A (initial), B, C, and D (final). The transition function is provided, and several recognized words such as 0, 11, 10, and patterns like 010* and 0000* are mentioned. The user references Sipser's book, specifically Lemma 1.60, to apply a procedure for simplifying the automaton and seeks validation on the correctness of the resulting language expression after removing states sequentially.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of deterministic finite automata (DFA)
  • Familiarity with transition functions and state diagrams
  • Knowledge of generalized nondeterministic finite automata (GNFA)
  • Basic concepts from formal language theory, particularly from Sipser's "Introduction to the Theory of Computation"
NEXT STEPS
  • Study the process of converting a DFA to a GNFA
  • Learn about state elimination techniques in automata theory
  • Explore the implications of Lemma 1.60 in Sipser's book
  • Practice deriving regular expressions from various automata configurations
USEFUL FOR

Students of computer science, particularly those studying automata theory, formal languages, and anyone interested in the conversion of DFAs to regular expressions.

Hello! (Wave)

I want to write the language of the automaton with the following transition function in regular form with $A$ as an initial state and $B,D$ as final states.

$$\delta:\begin{matrix}
& & 0 & 1\\
& A & B & C\\
& B & C & D\\
& C & D & B\\
& D & D & C
\end{matrix}$$

I have drawn the following dfa:

Some of the words that the automaton recognizes are the following:

$$0,11,10,000,01,010^{\star},0000^{\star}, 111, 101110$$

How can we find the general form of the words of the language? (Thinking)

You can use the procedure from the proof of Lemma 1.60 (p. 69) in Sipser's book.
