Find regular grammars for the following languages on {a, b}:(a) L = {w : na(w) is even, nb(w) ≥ 4}
Question
Find regular grammars for the following languages on {a, b}:
(a) L = {w : n_a(w) \text{ is even, } n_b(w) \geq 4}
Solution
To find a regular grammar for the language L = {w : na(w) is even, nb(w) ≥ 4}, we need to define a set of production rules that generate all strings in the language and only those strings.
Here is one possible regular grammar:
- S -> aA | bB | bS | ε
- A -> aS | bB | bA
- B -> aA | bC | bB
- C -> aA | bD | bC
- D -> aA | bD
This grammar works as follows:
- The start symbol S can produce an 'a' and transition to state A, or produce a 'b' and transition to state B or stay in state S, or produce an empty string (ε). This allows for strings with an even number of 'a's and at least 4 'b's.
- State A can produce an 'a' and transition back to state S, or produce a 'b' and transition to state B or stay in state A. This allows for strings with an even number of 'a's and at least 4 'b's.
- State B can produce an 'a' and transition to state A, or produce a 'b' and transition to state C or stay in state B. This allows for strings with an even number of 'a's and at least 4 'b's.
- State C can produce an 'a' and transition to state A, or produce a 'b' and transition to state D or stay in state C. This allows for strings with an even number of 'a's and at least 4 'b's.
- State D can produce an 'a' and transition to state A, or produce a 'b' and stay in state D. This allows for strings with an even number of 'a's and at least 4 'b's.
This grammar generates all strings in the language L and only those strings.
