Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

Propose two context-free languages with different characteristics. Show how their union is context-free by constructing the respective grammar.

πŸ’‘ Hint: Remember to keep the non-terminal sets disjoint.

Question 2

Consider the languages L1 = { x ∈ {a,b}* | x is a palindrome } and L2 = { x | x contains the substring 'ab' }. Examine their union and discuss why it may or may not remain a CFL.

πŸ’‘ Hint: Analyze the complexity of palindromic structure.
