Design a PDA that operates using both acceptance by final state and acceptance by empty stack. Describe its functioning and provide diagrams if necessary.
💡 Hint: Consider how the stack can be manipulated under different acceptance conditions.
Prove that the language L = { a^n b^n | n ≥ 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.
💡 Hint: Think about how the same stack operations can lead to both acceptance scenarios.
