30 Using Nondeterminism When designing an NFA for a language
31 Using Nondeterminism When designing an NFA for a language You follow the same methodology as for DFAs, like identifying what needs to be remembered
32 Using Nondeterminism When designing an NFA for a language You follow the same methodology as for DFAs, like identifying what needs to be remembered But now, the machine can guess at certain steps
33 Back to the Future Problem For Σ = {, 1, 2, #}, let L = {w#c w {, 1, 2}, c {, 1, 2}, and c occurs in w} So 111# L but 111#2 L. Design an NFA recognizing L.
34 Back to the Future Problem For Σ = {, 1, 2, #}, let L = {w#c w {, 1, 2}, c {, 1, 2}, and c occurs in w} So 111# L but 111#2 L. Design an NFA recognizing L. Solution Read symbols of w, i.e., portion of input before # is seen Guess at some point that current symbol in w is going to be the same as c ; store this symbol in the state Read the rest of w On reading #, check that the symbol immediately after is the one stored, and that the input ends immediately after that.

39 Recognizing Halves of Regular Languages Proposition If L is recognized by a DFA M then there is a NFA N such that L(N) = 1 2 L.
40 Recognizing Halves of Regular Languages Proposition If L is recognized by a DFA M then there is a NFA N such that L(N) = 1 2 L. Proof Idea On input x, need to check if x is the first half of some string w = xy that is accepted by M. Run M on input x; let M be in state q i after reading all of x Guess a string y such that y = x Check if M reaches a final state on reading y from q i
41 Recognizing Halves of Regular Languages Proposition If L is recognized by a DFA M then there is a NFA N such that L(N) = 1 2 L. Proof Idea On input x, need to check if x is the first half of some string w = xy that is accepted by M. Run M on input x; let M be in state q i after reading all of x Guess a string y such that y = x Check if M reaches a final state on reading y from q i How do you guess a string y of equal length to x using finite memory? Seems to require remembering the length of x!
42 Fixing the Idea Problem How do you guess a string y of equal length to x using finite memory?
43 Fixing the Idea Problem and Fix(?) How do you guess a string y of equal length to x using finite memory? Guess one symbol of y as you read one symbol of x!
44 Fixing the Idea Problem and Fix(?) How do you guess a string y of equal length to x using finite memory? Guess one symbol of y as you read one symbol of x! How do you run M on y from q i, if you cannot store all the symbols of y?
45 Fixing the Idea Problem and Fix(?) How do you guess a string y of equal length to x using finite memory? Guess one symbol of y as you read one symbol of x! How do you run M on y from q i, if you cannot store all the symbols of y? Run M on y as you guess each symbol, without waiting to finish the execution on x!
46 Fixing the Idea Problem and Fix(?) How do you guess a string y of equal length to x using finite memory? Guess one symbol of y as you read one symbol of x! How do you run M on y from q i, if you cannot store all the symbols of y? Run M on y as you guess each symbol, without waiting to finish the execution on x! If we don t first execute M on x, how do we know the state q i from which we have to execute y from?
47 Fixing the Idea Problem and Fix(?) How do you guess a string y of equal length to x using finite memory? Guess one symbol of y as you read one symbol of x! How do you run M on y from q i, if you cannot store all the symbols of y? Run M on y as you guess each symbol, without waiting to finish the execution on x! If we don t first execute M on x, how do we know the state q i from which we have to execute y from? Guess it! And then check that running M on x does indeed end in q i, your guessed state.
48 New Algorithm On input x, NFA N 1. Guess state q i and place left finger on (initial state of M) q and right finger on q i 2. As characters of x are read, N moves the left finger along transitions dictated by x and simultaneously moves the right finger along nondeterministically chosen transitions labelled by some symbol
49 New Algorithm On input x, NFA N 1. Guess state q i and place left finger on (initial state of M) q and right finger on q i 2. As characters of x are read, N moves the left finger along transitions dictated by x and simultaneously moves the right finger along nondeterministically chosen transitions labelled by some symbol 3. Accept if after reading x, left finger is at q i (state initially guessed for right finger) and right finger is at an accepting state
50 New Algorithm On input x, NFA N 1. Guess state q i and place left finger on (initial state of M) q and right finger on q i 2. As characters of x are read, N moves the left finger along transitions dictated by x and simultaneously moves the right finger along nondeterministically chosen transitions labelled by some symbol 3. Accept if after reading x, left finger is at q i (state initially guessed for right finger) and right finger is at an accepting state Things to remember: initial guess for right finger, and positions of left and right finger.

54 Formal Construction of NFA N States and Initial State Given M = (Q, Σ, δ, q, F ) recognizing L define N = (Q, Σ, δ, q, F ) that recognizes 1 2 L Q = Q Q Q {s}, where s Q s is a new start state Other states are of the form left finger, initial guess, right finger ; initial guess records the initial guess for the right finger q = s
55 Formal Construction of NFA N Transitions and Final States Transitions δ (s, ɛ) = { q, q i, q i q i Q} Guess the state q i that the input will lead to δ ( q i, q j, q k, a) = { q l, q j, q m δ(q i, a) = q l, b Σ. δ(q k, b) = q m } b is the guess for the next symbol of y and initial guess does not change F = { q i, q i, q j q i Q, q j F }
