29 From Regular Expressions to Finite Automata Theorem (3.7) Every language defined by a regular expression is also defined by a finite automaton. Inductive proof For each regular expression R we construct an -NFA E such that L(R) = L(E) with: 1. exactly one accepting state, 2. no arcs into the initial state and 3. no arcs out of the accepting state.

That path lets us accept, whichisinl(r ) no matter Figure from whathopcroft, expression Motwani R is. and Ullman (2007, Fig. 3.17). Finite Automata and Regular Expressions 33/40
34 From Regular Expressions to Finite Automata Example Convert the regular expression R = (0 + 1) 1(0 + 1) to an -NFA E such L(R) = L(E). Finite Automata and Regular Expressions 34/40
35 From Regular Expressions to Finite Automata Example Convert the regular expression R = (0 + 1) 1(0 + 1) to an -NFA E such L(R) = L(E). 1. -NFA for 0 + 1: start 0 1 Finite Automata and Regular Expressions 35/40

39 From Regular Expressions to Finite Automata Exercise (3.2.7) There are some simplifications to the constructions of Theorem 3.7, where we converted a regular expression to an -NFA. Here are three: 1. For the union operator, instead of creating new start and accepting states, merge the two start states into one state with all the transitions of both start states. Likewise, merge the two accepting states, having all transitions to either go to the merged state instead. 2. For the concatenation operator, merge the accepting state of the first automaton with the start state of the second. 3. For the closure operator, simply add -transitions from the accepting state to the start state and vice-versa. Each of these simplifications, by themselves, still yield a correct construction; that is, the resulting -NFA for any regular expression accepts the language of the expression. Which subsets of changes (1), (2) and (3) may be made to the construction together, while still yielding a correct automaton for every regular expression?
