3 Examples of Regular Expressions Expressions built from a, b, ɛ, using operators +,, and. (a + b ) c Strings of only a s or only b s, followed by a c. (a + b) abb(a + b) contains abb as a subword. (a + b) b(a + b)(a + b) 3rd last letter is a b. (b ab a) b
4 Examples of Regular Expressions Expressions built from a, b, ɛ, using operators +,, and. (a + b ) c Strings of only a s or only b s, followed by a c. (a + b) abb(a + b) contains abb as a subword. (a + b) b(a + b)(a + b) 3rd last letter is a b. (b ab a) b Even number of a s.
5 Examples of Regular Expressions Expressions built from a, b, ɛ, using operators +,, and. (a + b ) c Strings of only a s or only b s, followed by a c. (a + b) abb(a + b) contains abb as a subword.

15 Kleene s Theorem: RE = DFA Class of languages defined by regular expressions coincides with regular languages. Proof RE DFA: Use closure properties of regular languages. DFA RE:
16 DFA RE: Kleene s construction Let A = (Q, s, δ, F ) be given DFA. Define L pq = {w A δ(p, w) = q}. Then L(A) = f F L sf. For X Q, define L X pq = {w A δ(p, w) = q via a path that stays in X except for first and last states} X p q Then L(A) = f F LQ sf.
17 DFA RE: Kleene s construction r X p q Advantage: L X {r} pq = L X pq + L X pr (L X rr ) L X rq.
18 DFA RE: Kleene s construction (2) Method: Begin with L Q sf for each f F. Simplify by using terms with strictly smaller X s: L X {r} pq For base terms, observe that L {} pq = = L X pq + L X pr (L X rr ) L X rq. { {a δ(p, a) = q} if p q {a δ(p, a) = q} {ɛ} if p = q. Exercise: convert NFA/DFA s below to RE s: a, b b a b b s f a

Simplify by using terms with strictly smaller X s: L X {r} pq For base terms, observe that L {} pq = = L X pq + L X pr (L X rr ) L X rq. { {a δ(p, a) = q} if p q {a δ(p, a) = q} {ɛ} if p = q. Exercise: convert NFA/DFA s below to RE s: a, b b a b b s f e a o
20 DFA RE using system of equations Aim: to construct a regexp for L q = {w A δ(q, w) F }. Note that L(A) = L s. Example: b a b Set up equations to capture L q s: x e = b x e + a x o x o = a x e + b x o + ɛ. Solution is a RE for each x, such that languages denoted by LHS and RHS RE s coincide. a
21 DFA RE using system of equations Aim: to construct a regexp for L q = {w A δ(q, w) F }. Note that L(A) = L s. Example: b a b Set up equations to capture L q s: e a o x e = b x e + a x o x o = a x e + b x o + ɛ. Solution is a RE for each x, such that languages denoted by LHS and RHS RE s coincide.
22 Solutions to a system of equations L q s are a solution to the system of equations In general there could be many solutions to equations. Consider x = A x (Here A is the alphabet). What are the solutions to this equation? In the case of equations arising out of automata, L q s can be seen to the unique solution to the equations.
23 Computing the least solution to a system of equations Equations arising from our automaton can be viewed as: [ ] [ ] [ ] [ ] xe b a xe ɛ = + a b x o System of linear equations over regular expressions have the general form: X = AX + B where X is a column vector of n variables, A is an nxn matrix of regular expressions, and B is a column vector of n regular expressions. Claim: The column vector A B represents the least solution to the equations above. [See Kozen, Supplementary Lecture A]. Definition of A when A is a 2x2 matrix: [ ] [ a b (a + bd = c) (a + bd c) bd ] x o c d (d + ca b) ca (d + ca b)
