33 Regulr Grmmrs A grmmr is regulr grmmr if nd only if it is right-liner or left-liner. 33

34 Regulr Grmmrs Generte Regulr Lnguges 34

35 Theorem Lnguges Generted y Regulr Grmmrs = Regulr Lnguges 35

36 Theorem - Prt 1 Lnguges Generted y Regulr Grmmrs Regulr Lnguges Any regulr grmmr genertes regulr lnguge 36

37 Theorem - Prt 2 Lnguges Generted y Regulr Grmmrs Regulr Lnguges Any regulr lnguge is generted y regulr grmmr 37

38 Proof Prt 1 Lnguges Generted y Regulr Grmmrs Regulr Lnguges The lnguge L(G) ny regulr grmmr generted y G is regulr 38

39 The cse of Right-Liner Grmmrs Let G e right-liner grmmr We will prove: L(G) is regulr Proof ide We will construct NFA with M ) L ( M ) = L( G 39

40 Grmmr G is right-liner Exmple A B A B B B 40

41 M Construct NFA such tht every stte is grmmr vrile: A B V F specil finl stte A B A B B B 41

42 Add edges for ech production: A V F B A B A B B B 42

43 A λ V F B A B A B B B 43

44 A λ V F A B B A B B B 44

45 A λ V F A B B A B B B 45

47 A λ V F B A B B 47

48 NFA M A Grmmr G A B A B B B λ V F B L( M ) = L( G) = * + * 48

49 In Generl A right-liner grmmr G hs vriles: V0, V1, V2, nd productions: V! i or 1 2 m V j V i 1 2! m 49

50 We construct the NFA M such tht: ech vrile V i corresponds to node: V0 V1 V2. VF specil finl stte 50

51 For ech production: V! i 1 2 m V j we dd trnsitions nd intermedite nodes Vi 1 2 m V j Exmple: Convert Right-Liner Grmmr to FA y JFLAP 51

52 Exmple V V V V V V V V V 3 3 V V 8 4 V V 2 V V V 4 0 M 5 V F L ( G) = L( M ) 52

53 The cse of Left-Liner Grmmrs Let G e left-liner grmmr We will prove: L(G) is regulr Proof ide We will construct right-liner grmmr Gʹ with L ( G) = L( Gʹ ) R 53

54 ince G is left-liner grmmr the productions look like: A B! 1 2 k A 1 2! k 54

55 Construct right-liner grmmr Gʹ In G : A B! 1 2 k A vb In Gʹ : A k! 21B A v R B 55

56 Construct right-liner grmmr Gʹ In : G A 1 2! k A v Gʹ A k! 2 1 In : A v R 56

57 It is esy to see tht: L ( G) = L( Gʹ ) R ince Gʹ is right-liner, we hve: L(G ʹ R ) L ( Gʹ ) L(G) Regulr Lnguge Regulr Lnguge Regulr Lnguge 57

58 Proof - Prt 2 Lnguges Generted y Regulr Grmmrs Regulr Lnguges Any regulr lnguge L is generted y some regulr grmmr G 58

59 Any regulr lnguge L is generted y some regulr grmmr Proof ide ince L is regulr there is n NFA G M L = L(M ) such tht Construct from such tht M L ( M ) = L( G) regulr grmmr G 59

60 Exmple M q 0 q1 q2 λ L = * ( * )* q 3 L = L(M ) 60

61 Convert G M to right-liner grmmr q q 0 1 q q 1 1 M q0 q1 q2 q 1 q 2 λ q 2 q 3 q 3 q 3 q 1 L ( G) = L( M ) = L q 3 λ 61

62 In Generl For ny trnsition: q p Add production: q p vrile terminl vrile 62

63 For ny finl stte: q f Add production: q f λ 63

64 ince G is right-liner grmmr G is lso regulr grmmr with L ( G) = L( M ) = L 64

65 Regulr Grmmrs A regulr grmmr is ny right-liner or left-liner grmmr Exmples G1 G2 A A A B B 65

66 Oservtion Regulr grmmrs generte regulr lnguges Exmples G1 G2 A A A B B L ( G 1 ) = ( ) * L ( G2) = ( )* 66

69 Minimizing DFA y et Prtitioning 69

70 Minimiztion of DFA The deterministic finite utomt re not lwys the smllest possile ccepting the source lnguge. There my e sttes with the sme "cceptnce ehvior". This pplies to sttes p nd q, if for ll input words, the utomton lwys or never moves to finl stte from p nd q. 70

71 tte Reduction y et Prtitioning The set prtitioning technique is similr to one used for prtitioning people into groups sed on their responses to questionnire. The following slides show the detiled steps for computing equivlent stte sets of the strting DFA nd constructing the corresponding reduced DFA. 71

72 1 3 trting DFA Reduced DFA 0, 1,2, 4,5 72

73 tte Reduction y et Prtitioning tep 0: Prtition the sttes into two groups ccepting nd non-ccepting. P1 P2 { 3, 4, 5 } { 0, 1, 2 }

74 tte Reduction y et Prtitioning tep 1: Get the response of ech stte for ech input symol. Notice tht ttes 3 nd 0 show different responses from the ones of the other sttes in the sme set. P 1 P 2 P2 P1 p 1 p 1 p 1 p 2 p 1 p 1 {3, 4, 5 } {0, 1, 2 } p 2 p 1 p 1 p 2 p 1 p

75 tte Reduction y et Prtitioning P22: 0, -> P21 0, -> P21 P21: 1, -> P12 1, -> P11 2, -> P12 2, -> P11 P12: 3, -> P12 3, -> P21 P11: 4, -> P11 4, -> P11 5, -> P11 5, -> P11 No more sudivision. Remining prtitions re the new sttes. {0},{1,2},{3},{4,5} P22 0 P P P11 75

76 Minimized DFA consists of four sttes of the finl prtition, nd the trnsitions re the one corresponding to the strting DFA. {4, 5} {3} {1, 2} {0} 0, 1,2 3 4,5, Minimized DFA trting DFA 76

77 DFA Minimiztion Algorithm The lgorithm P { F, {Q-F}} while ( P is still chnging) T { } for ech set s P for ech α Σ prtition s y α into s 1, s 2,, s k T T s 1, s 2,, s k if T P then P T This is fixed-point lgorithm! Why does this work? Prtition P 2 Q (power set) trt off with 2 susets of Q {F} nd {Q-F} While loop tkes P i P i+1 y splitting one or more sets P i+1 is t lest one step closer to the prtition with Q sets Mximum of Q splits Prtitions re never comined Initil prtition ensures tht finl sttes re intct 77

78 et Prtition Algorithm (lling ook) Exmple 2.39 We pply step y step set prtition lgorithm on the following DFA: Two strings x,y re distinguished y lnguge (DFA) if there is (distinguishing) string z such s tht only one of strings xz, yz ends in ccepting stte (elongs to lnguge) Σ = {, } 78

79 We serch for strings tht re distinguished y DFA! Non-ccepting: Wht hppens when we red? From 5 we end in 6 y, leving its group. 4 6 {1,2,3,4,5,6} Accepting: { 1,2,4,5,6} {3} Distinguishing string: Wht hppens when we red? From 1 nd 6 y we rech 3 which is ccepting. They form specil group. { 2,4,5} {1,6 } {2,4} {5} {1,6} or 79 {3} {3}

80 The miniml utomton hs four sttes: {2,4} { 5} {1,6 } {3} {2,4} { 1,6} {5} {3}

83 Appliction: Compiler Lexicl Anlysis 83

84 Wht is compiler? A compiler is progrm tht trnsltes source lnguge into n equivlent trget lnguge while (i > 3) { [i] = [i]; i ++ } C progrm compiler does this mov ex, ex dd ex, 1 cmp ex, 3 jcc ex, edx ssemly progrm 84

89 tges of Anlysis Lexicl Anlysis reking the input up into individul words/tokens yntx Anlysis prsing the phrse structure of the progrm emntic Anlysis clculting the progrm s mening 89

90 Lexicl Anlyzer Input is strem of chrcters Produces strem of nmes, keywords & punctution mrks Discrds white spce nd comments 90

91 Lexicl Anlyzer Recognize tokens in progrm source code. The tokens cn e vrile nmes, reserved words, opertors, numers, etc. Ech kind of token cn e specified s n RE, e.g., vrile nme is of the form [A-Z-z] [A-Z-z0-9]*. We cn then construct n λ -NFA to recognize it utomticlly. 91

92 Lexicl Anlyzer By putting ll these λ-nfa s together, we otin one which cn recognize ll different kinds of tokens in the input string. We cn then convert this λ -NFA to NFA nd then to DFA, nd implement this DFA s deterministic progrm - the lexicl nlyzer. 92
