Nondeterminism [Section 4. 1] (Deterministic) FA required for every state q and every symbol of the alphabet to have exactly one arrow out of q labeled . What happens when we drop this requirement ? L = { w 2{a, b}* | w contains abba as a substring } Transition diagram (of this new type) :
Formal definition of an NFA [Section 4. 1] A nondeterministic finite automaton (NFA) is a 5 -tuple (Q, , q 0, A, ) where - Q is a finite set of states - is a finite alphabet (input symbols) - qo 2 Q is the initial state - A µ Q is a set of accepting states - : Q£ ___ is the transition function Give a formal definition of the NFA from the previous slide.

A string which is not accepted by M is rejected by M. The language accepted by M, denoted by L(M) is the set of all strings accepted by M.

Proof of Kleene’s Thm [Section 4. 3] Kleene’s Thm: A language L over is regular iff there exists a finite automaton that accepts L. Part 1 : For every regular language there exists an NFA- accepting it.
Proof of Kleene’s Thm [Section 4. 3] Part 2 : Any language accepted by an FA is regular. Let M=({1, 2, 3, …, k}, , q 0, A, ) be an FA. We will show that for every p, q, r 2 Q, the following language is regular : L(p, q, r) = { x 2 * | *(p, x)=q and for every prefix y of x other than and x we have *(p, y) · r } Can we then conclude that L(M) is regular ?
