This classic book on formal languages, automata theory, and computational complexity has been updated to present theoretical concepts in a concise and straightforward manner with the increase of hands-on, practical applications. This new edition comes with Gradiance, an online assessment tool developed for computer science. Please note, Gradiance is no longer available with this book, as we no longer support this product.
Preliminaries. Finite automata and regular expressions. Properties of regular sets. Context-free grammars. Pushdown automata; Properties of context-free languages. Turing machines. Undecidability. The Cohmsky hierarchy. Heterministic context-free languages. Closure properties of...
Formal languages and automata theory is the study of abstract machines and how these can be used for solving problems. The book has a simple and exhaustive approach to topics like automata theory, formal languages and theory of computation.
Introduction to Automata Theory, Languages and Computation
Consider the toy shown in Fig. 1.222. A marble is dropped at A or B. Levers x1,x2,x3 cause the marble to fall either to the left or to the right. Whenever a marble encounters a lever, it causes the lever to reverse after the marble ...
The book also examines the underlying theory and principles of computation and is highly suitable to the undergraduate courses in computer science and information technology.
This Third Edition, in response to the enthusiastic reception given by academia and students to the previous edition, offers a cohesive presentation of all aspects of theoretical computer science, namely automata, formal languages, ...
A distinctive feature of this text is its gentle and gradual introduction of the necessary mathematical tools in the context in which they are used.
An Introduction to Formal Languages & Automata provides an excellent presentation of the material that is essential to an introductory theory of computation course. The text was designed to familiarize...
