5 Constructing MPFS Let A = (Q, Σ, δ, s, F); F' F Construct A F ' = (Q, Σ, δ', s, F') δ'(q, ) undefined if q F' s in A otherwise. L(A F ' ) is PFS of L(A) If q F \ F' rechle in A F ' : w ccepted from q in A F ' then L(A F ' ) is MPFS of L(A) Prefix-Free Susets of Regulr Lnguges nd Descriptionl Complexity Jozef Jirásek, Jurj Šeej 5/22
