April 7, 1998

1. Find a regular expression R(1,2,2) for the NFA given by tex2html_wrap_inline28 , tex2html_wrap_inline30 , tex2html_wrap_inline32 , and tex2html_wrap_inline34 , where the initial state is 1. [25]

2. Let S and T be sets of state of an tex2html_wrap_inline42 . Prove by Structural Induction that if tex2html_wrap_inline44 , then tex2html_wrap_inline46 . [25]

3. From the simplest NFAs construct tex2html_wrap_inline42 that accepts the language represented by tex2html_wrap_inline52 using union, concatenation, and Kleene star operations on NFAs DO NOT SKIP STEPS. DO NOT SIMPLIFY. [25]

4. Find a FA equivalent to the following NFA: [25]
