17. To describe the complement of a language, it is very important to describe the ----------- of that language
over which the language is defined.

1. Write down the NFA expression of the following PDA . (10)

2. Write Convert the mealy machine into Moore machine. (10)

a)
Next State
Present State
a=0 a=1
State output State Output
Q0 Q1 0 Q3 0
Q1 Q3 1 Q2 0
Q2 Q4 1 Q0 0
Q3 Q0 0 Q4 1
Q4 Q2 0 Q1 0
solution

Present State State State Output

Q0 Q1 Q30 0
Q1 Q30 Q2 0
Q2 Q4 Q0 0
Q30 Q0 Q4 0
Q31 Q0 Q4 1
Q4 Q2 Q1 1

Here, states ‘Q3’ give only 1 and 0 outputs respectively, so we retain states
‘Q0’, ‘Q1’ , ‘Q2’and ‘Q4’. But states ‘Q3’ produce different outputs (1 and 0). So, we divide
Q3 into Q30 Q31

b) (10)
Running the string abbabbba over the below machine, the corresponding output string will be
11011010, which can be determined by the following table as well

Solution:
It is to be noted that the states are labeled along with the characters to be printed. Running the string
abbabbba over the above machine, the corresponding output string will be 01111010, which can be
determined by the following table as well

It may be noted that the length of output string is l more than that of input string as the initial state prints out the
extra character 1, before the input string is read.

3.
a) To convert the following union of two NFA (10)

b) In each regular expression draw the FA recognizing corresponding language (10)

i. a(a+b)*
ii. ( (a+b) (a+b) )*
iii. (a+b)* ab (a+b)*
iv. a(a+b)* a+b (a+b)* b
v. (a+b)*
