Minimization of finite Automaton &


REGULAR LANGUAGES

Lecture #5
Definitions
Properties
Construction of Minimum Automaton
Problem
• Construct a minimum state automaton
equivalent to finite automaton
Solution
Minimize the given automata
Regular Languages
Definition: L
M
A language is regular L  
L isM
if there
FA such that

Observation:
All languages accepted by FAs
form the family of regular languages

17
Examples of regular languages:

abba  , ab, abba


awa : w  a, b * {a nb : n 0}
{ all strings with prefix }
ab
{ all strings without substring }
001

There exist automata that accept these


Languages (see previous slides).

18
There exist languages which are not Regular:

n n
Example:
L{a b : n 0}

There is no FA that accepts such a language

(we will prove this later in the class)
