Challenge Problems

Push your limits with advanced challenges

Challenge 1 Hard

Given two CFLs, L1 = {a^n b^n | n ≥ 0} and L2 = {c^m | m ≥ 0}, determine the closure properties of their union.

💡 Hint: Consider if merging both sets keeps it confined within CFLs.

Challenge 2 Hard

Explore the intersection of L1 = {a^n b^n c^m} and L2 = {a^m b^n c^n}. Can you derive whether their intersection remains a CFL?

💡 Hint: Reflect on counting balance and how a single stack would handle this.
