Consider a FA with a stack(= a Pushdown automaton; PDA). q 0 : Push input symbol onto stack, and stay in q 0 (gathering mode) or Go to state q 1 (matching mode) nondeterministically( -moves) Guess that it is the center of the palrindrome, now. q 1 : If the input symbol is same as the top of the stack, then pop the top of the stack and stay in q 1.(matching mode) If the input symbol is not same as the top of the stack, then reject. If no more input symbol and empty stack in state q 1, then go to the final state q 2 and accept, else reject. 10/24/17 Kwang-Moo Choe 1

T is a finite set of input alphabet, 3. is a finite stack alphabet, 4. is a transition function. : Q (T { }) 2 Q *. If (p, ) (q, a, X) for q, p Q, a T { }, *. pop stack top X and push stack string * onto stack. i) (p, ) (q, a, X) pop X ii) (p, X) (q, a, X) no stack change iii) (p, YX) (q, a, X) push Y 5. q 0 Q is an initial state, 6. Z 0 * is an initial stack content, 7. F Q is a set of final states. 10/24/17 Kwang-Moo Choe 2

X, a T: (q 0, a, X) = {(q 0, ax)}. gathering mode(push) State q 0 : If see 0, then push 0 and if see 1, then push 1; stay in q (q 0,, X) = {(q 1, X)}. goto matching mode Go to the state q 1 on input(nondeterministic): guess center of Pal. 3. a T: (q 1, a, a) = {(q 1, )}. matching mode(pop) State q 1 : match input symbol against stack top symbol and pop it. else error! (q 1, 0, 1) = (q 1, 1, 0) = (q 1, 0, Z 0 )= (q 1, 1, Z 0 ) =. 4. (q 1,, Z 0 ) = {(q 2, Z 0 )}. end of matching! Accept! L(P ww R) = L ww R but P ww R is not deterministic!

P F = (Q N {q 0 F, q F }, T, N {Z 0 F }, F, q 0 F, Z 0 F, {q F }) where q 0 F,q F Q N, Z 0 F N. F : 1. F (q F 0,, Z F 0 ) = {(q N 0, Z N 0 Z F 0 )}. push old stack bottom Z N F N, simulate P N with N. 3. q Q N, F (q,, Z 0 F ) = {(q F, (or Z 0 F or any N * ))}. If stack is empty(z 0 F : stack top), go to the final final state q F. See Fig. 6.4 in p p 0 = q F 0, X 0 = Z F 0, Z 0 = Z N 0, q 0 / = q N 0 /any. 10/24/17 Kwang-Moo Choe 6
7 6.2.4 From Final State to Empty Stack Thm If L = L(P F ) for some PDA P F = (Q F, T, F, F, q F 0, Z F 0, F). Then there is a PDA P N such that L = N(P N ). P N = (Q F {q 0 N, q E }, T, N, N, q 0 E, Z 0 N, ) where q 0 E, q E Q F, Z 0 N F. and N = F {Z 0 N }. N : 1.

Z N, N (q E,, Z) = {(q E, )} Pop all of the stack symbols in the empty state q E. See Fig. 6.7 in p. 240 p 0 = q 0 E, X 0 = Z 0 N, Z 0 = Z 0 F, q 0 = q 0 F, and... any/ = Z/ in the state p = q E. 10/24/17 Kwang-Moo Choe 7

13 6.4 Deterministic Pushdown Automata Definition of a Deterministic PDA A PDA P = (Q, T,,, q 0, Z 0, F) with : Q (T { }) 2 Q * is deterministic, if 1. q Q, a T { }: (q, a, X) 1 or : q (T { }) \ Q *. 2. If (q, a, X), then (q,, X) or If (q,, X), then a : (q, a, X). Example 6.16 Palindromes over {0, 1} with center marker c. L wcw R = {wcw R w (0+1) * } P wcw R = ({q 0, q 1, q 2 }, {0, 1, c}, {0, 1, Z 0 },, q 0, Z 0, {q 2 }) L wcw R = L(P wcw R). 10/24/17 Kwang-Moo Choe 13

(q 0, c, X) = {(q 1, X)}. goto matching mode 3. a {0, 1}: (q 1, a, a) = {(q 1, )}. matching mode(pop) 4.

15 Theorem 6.17 If L is regular, the L = L(P) for some PDA. proof Let A = (Q, T, A, q 0, F) is a DFA L = L(A). Then P = (Q, T, {Z 0 }, P, q 0, Z 0, F) with P (q, a, Z 0 ) = {(p, Z 0 ) A (q, a) = p} is a deterministic PDA. DFA is a DPDA and FA is a PDA! DPDA s and Context-free Languages P wcw R is a DPDA. But L wcw R is not regular but context-free. L wcw R = L(P wcw R). L ww R is not regular but context-free. But there is no DPDA P L ww R = L(P) Regular Languages L(DPDA) Context-free Languages DPDA s and Ambiguous Grammars 10/24/17 Kwang-Moo Choe 15
16 Theorem 6.20 If L = L(P) for some DPDA A, Then L has an unambiguous context-free grammar. proof If a PDA P is DPDA, then the CFG in Ex is unambiguous. Theorem 6.21 If L = L(P) for some DPDA A, Then L has an ambiguous grammar. proof end marker($) vs. But not important! ( {$} vs { }) 10/24/17 Kwang-Moo Choe 16
