Module 2
Regular Languages and Finite Automata
1
Formal Structures of DFAs and NFAs
Define the formal structures (5-tuples) of Deterministic and Nondeterministic Finite Automata (DFAs and NFAs).
2
DFA and NFA State Transition Diagrams
Construct state transition diagrams for DFAs and NFAs to represent language acceptors.
3
DFA and NFA Trace and Acceptance
Trace the execution of both DFAs and NFAs on input strings to determine acceptance or rejection.
4
Designing Finite Automata for Regular Languages
Design DFAs and NFAs for specified regular languages, including those involving patterns and modular arithmetic.
5
NFA to DFA Conversion using Subset Construction
Apply the subset construction algorithm to convert any NFA into an equivalent DFA.
6
DFA-NFA Equivalence
Prove that DFAs and NFAs are equivalent in their language-recognizing power.
7
DFA vs. NFA: State Complexity and Design Trade-offs
Compare the trade-offs between DFAs and NFAs in terms of state complexity and ease of design.
