5 I.5.1. Derivtion Trees for Context-Free Grmmrs (14.1) Derivtion Trees or Prse Trees Context free Grmmrs (revited s CFG in the following) llow to pply to non-terminl t position without needing the context. Therefore we cn expnd the non-terminls independently of ech other. This llows us to define derivtion trees (lso clled prse trees). CS 275 Sect. II / 52

X n only if is non-terminl nd there is production where X i T N. X 1 X 2 X n ll leves of the tree together red from left to right form the string derived, nmely. This is clled the frontier of the derivtion tree. We will s well consider derivtion trees not ending in string of terminls, so the frontier is n element of (T N). CS 275 Sect. II / 52

10 I.5.1. Derivtion Trees for Context-Free Grmmrs (14.1) Definition Derivtion Tree Definition Let G = (T, N, S, P) e CFG. derivtion tree or prse tree for G is finite tree with nodes lelled y elements of N T {ɛ}, s.t. node hs children with lels X 1,..., X n only if N nd there is production X 1 X 2 X n If the node of one of the children of is ɛ, then this node is the only child of this tree. The frontier of the tree is the set of leves red from left to right in sequence, which is n element (T N). The root of the tree is the node t the to of the derivtion tree. CS 275 Sect. II / 52

34 II.5.3. The Pumping Lemm for CFG (14.4) Ide of the Pumping Lemm for CFG The Pumping Lemm for Regulr Lnguges is sed on the fct tht if string derived y finite stte utomton is sufficiently ig, we pss to t lest one stte twice. We could equivlently hve used the fct tht in left- or right-liner grmmr, if string derived is sufficiently ig, we pss through one non-terminl t lest twice. For CFG, we need tht if string derived is sufficiently ig, one we pss through one non-terminl t lest twice. However, if this occurrence is in two disjoint sutrees of the derivtion trees, there is no reltion etween them. Wht we need tht there is pth in the sutree which psses through one non-terminl t lest twice. CS 275 Sect. II / 52

36 II.5.3. The Pumping Lemm for CFG (14.4) Ide of the Pumping Lemm for CFG If in CFG with m non-terminls there is no repetition of non-terminl in ny pth, then ny derivtion tree cn hve height t most m + 1. Since t ny node of derivtion tree there re only finitely mny rules to pply to, one cn esily see tht there re only finitely mny derivtion trees in CFG with height t most m + 1. Let n e the mximum height of ny string derived with height t most m + 1. Let n := n + 1. ny string with height n must hve pth in which t lest one non-terminl occurs twice. We cn hve this derivtion to within the lst n + 1 steps, nd therefore otin, tht the string derived from the first of the two occurrences of hs length t most n. CS 275 Sect. II / 52

37 II.5.3. The Pumping Lemm for CFG (14.4) Ide of the Pumping Lemm for CFG So for ny CFG G we cn find constnt n s.t. in ny derivtion tree of word w L(G) s.t. w n, we cn decompose w s uvwxy find nonterminl, nd derivtions S uy (written lue on the next slide), vx (written green on the next slide), w (written red on the next slide) The suderivtion vx plys the role of the loop we hd in the pumping lemm for regulr lnguges. Furthermore the middle prt vwx cn e chosen to e of length n, nd vx ɛ. The following pictures don t come out well on the lck nd white hndouts. Plese look t them on the online version. CS 275 Sect.

42 II.5.3. The Pumping Lemm for CFG (14.4) Pumping Lemm for CFG Theorem Let L e context free lnguge.. Then there exists constnt n s.t. for ll strings z of L s.t. z n there exist u, v, w, x, y s.t. z = uvwxy, vwx n, i.e. the middle portion is not too long, vx 1, i.e. v or x re not ɛ, i 0.uv i wx i y L. CS 275 Sect. II / 52

43 II.5.3. The Pumping Lemm for CFG (14.4) Proof of the Pumping Lemm for CFG forml proof cn e found in the dditionl Mteril CS 275 Sect. II / 52

44 II.5.3. The Pumping Lemm for CFG (14.4) Exmple 1 Lemm The lnguge L = { i i c i i 0} is not context free. CS 275 Sect. II / 52

45 II.5.3. The Pumping Lemm for CFG (14.4) Proof (Exmple 1) ssume L is context free. Let n e the constnt from the pumping lemm. Let z := n n c n L. By the pumping lemm, z = uvwxy s.t. vwx n nd i 0.uv i wx i y L. If v contins s nd s or s nd c s, uv 2 wx 2 y is not n element of (i.e. the lnguge defined y this regulr expression), since there is n fter or fter c. Therefore v is prt of n, n or c n, similrly for x. But now uv 2 wx 2 y = n+i n+j c n+k where t most 2 of (i, j, k) cn e 0, nd t lest one is 0. But then n+i n+j c n+k L. CS 275 Sect. II / 52

46 II.5.3. The Pumping Lemm for CFG (14.4) Exmple 2 Lemm The lnguge L = { n m n m n, m 0} is not context free. CS 275 Sect. II / 52

47 II.5.3. The Pumping Lemm for CFG (14.4) Proof (Exmple 2) ssume L is context free. Let n e the constnt from the pumping lemm. Let z := n n n n L. By the pumping lemm, z = uvwxy s.t. vwx n nd i 0.uv i wx i y L. If v contins oth s nd s uv 2 wx 2 y is not n element of, since there re more thn 3 switches etween s nd s. Therefore v is prt of one of the suwords n, n, similrly for x. But now uv 2 wx 2 y = n+i n+j n+k n+l where t most 2 of (i, j, k, l) cn e 0, if there re two they re consecutive, t lest one is 0. But then n+i n+j n+k n+l L. CS 275 Sect. II / 52

48 II.5.3. The Pumping Lemm for CFG (14.4) Exmple 3 Lemm The lnguge L = {ww w {, } } is not context free. CS 275 Sect. II / 52

49 II.5.3. The Pumping Lemm for CFG (14.4) Proof (Exmple 3) We use the fct (we hven t shown this) tht the intersection of context free nd regulr grmmr is context free. If L were context free, so were L := L ( ). But L is just the lnguge of Exmple 2, which is not context free. CS 275 Sect. II / 52

50 II.5.4. Limittions of Context Free Grmmrs Floyd s Theorem I.5.1. Derivtion Trees for Context-Free Grmmrs (14.1) II.5.2. Norml Forms for Context-Free Grmmrs (14.2) II.5.3. The Pumping Lemm for CFG (14.4) II.5.4. Limittions of Context Free Grmmrs Floyd s Theorem CS 275 Sect. II / 52

51 II.5.4. Limittions of Context Free Grmmrs Floyd s Theorem Repetition of words is not context free Exmple 3 of II.5.3 showed tht is not context free. L := {ww w {, } } This exmple generlised to the fct tht under wek conditions lnguge which requires the repetition of word which cn e chosen ritrry, is not context free. progrm lnguge which expresses tht vrile needs to e declred efore it is used is essentilly of this form. CS 275 Sect. II / 52

52 II.5.4. Limittions of Context Free Grmmrs Floyd s Theorem II.5.4. Floyd s Theorem Floyd s Theorem expresses tht under wek ssumptions progrmming lnguges, which requires tht vriles need to e declred efore used, cnnot e defined y context free grmmr. Therefore most progrmming lnguges cnnot e defined y context free grmmr. However, one cn define in most cses context free grmmr defining the syntx of lnguge. Then one needs progrm, which fterwrds checks semntic properties of the progrm, such s tht vrile needs to e declred efore eing used. More detils cn e found in the dditionl Mteril. CS 275 Sect.
