Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

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

πŸ’‘ Hint: Consider if merging both sets keeps it confined within CFLs.

Question 2

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?

πŸ’‘ Hint: Reflect on counting balance and how a single stack would handle this.
