1(a) Find a string which is not in the language represented by tex2html_wrap_inline59 .
(b) Find a regular expression for the language L defined recursively as follows:

Basis: tex2html_wrap_inline63
Induction: If tex2html_wrap_inline65 , then tex2html_wrap_inline67 , tex2html_wrap_inline69 , and tex2html_wrap_inline71 .
Extremal: Nothing is in L unless it is obtained by the above clauses.

2. Recursively define the set U of all strings in {0,1} containing the substring 10.

3. Prove by induction on string y that tex2html_wrap_inline83 .

4. Find a regular expression for the language of strings over the alphabet {a,b} which are accepted by the FA given by the following transition table.

The initial state is tex2html_wrap_inline171 and the accepting states are tex2html_wrap_inline171 and tex2html_wrap_inline175 .
