April 3, 1997


1(a). Find an NFA that recognizes the same language as the following tex2html_wrap_inline45 :

tabular11



The initial state is 1 and the accepting state is 3.
(b) Find tex2html_wrap_inline91 .
(c) Find tex2html_wrap_inline93 .

2. Find an FA that recognizes the same language as the following NFA:

tabular18



The initial state is 1 and the accepting state is 2.

3. Construct an tex2html_wrap_inline45 that accepts the language corresponding to
tex2html_wrap_inline135 from the simplest NFA's. DO NOT SIMPLIFY.

4. tex2html_wrap_inline139 for natural numbers k is inductively (i.e. recursively) defined as follows:
Basis: tex2html_wrap_inline143 .
Induction: tex2html_wrap_inline145 for any natural number k, tex2html_wrap_inline149 .

Prove by induction that for any natural number k, tex2html_wrap_inline149 , tex2html_wrap_inline155 .
You must prove tex2html_wrap_inline157 if you need it.

Note that tex2html_wrap_inline159 is defined inductively for a set S of states as follows:
Basis: tex2html_wrap_inline163
Induction: For any state q, if tex2html_wrap_inline167 , then tex2html_wrap_inline169 .
Extremal Clause
