Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

Given a language L defined as L = {0^n1^n | n β‰₯ 0}, devise a comprehensive proof using the Pumping Lemma to establish that L is non-regular.

πŸ’‘ Hint: Make sure to explore various 'x' and 'y' values based on the Pumping Lemma.

Question 2

Consider another language L = { wwR | w ∈ {0,1}* }, showing it is non-regular using cases where you segment the string into x, y, and z.

πŸ’‘ Hint: You’ll need to use the properties of the Pumping Lemma effectively.
