Challenge Problems

Push your limits with advanced challenges

Challenge 1 Hard

Design a simple DFA that recognizes strings over {0,1} that end with '01'. Then, use the Myhill-Nerode Theorem to derive its equivalence classes.

💡 Hint: Focus on the last two symbols read by the DFA.

Challenge 2 Hard

Prove that for any regular language, the Myhill-Nerode relation will indeed have a finite index.

💡 Hint: Consider how many distinct states appear in a regular language's DFA.
