Question 1

What is the main feature of a Pushdown Automaton?

  • Finite memory
  • Infinite memory using a stack
  • Non-deterministic transitions

πŸ’‘ Hint: Consider what unique memory structure PDAs have that DFAs do not.

Question 2

True or False: Acceptance by final state and acceptance by empty stack yield the same set of context-free languages.

  • True
  • False

πŸ’‘ Hint: Reflect on the equivalence of the two methods.

Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

Design a PDA that operates using both acceptance by final state and acceptance by empty stack. Describe its functioning and provide diagrams if necessary.

πŸ’‘ Hint: Consider how the stack can be manipulated under different acceptance conditions.

Question 2

Prove that the language L = { a^n b^n | n β‰₯ 0 } can be accepted by a PDA using the acceptance by final state, and demonstrate how the same PDA would accept it using the empty stack.

πŸ’‘ Hint: Think about how the same stack operations can lead to both acceptance scenarios.
