Course objectives
The purpose of this course is to introduce computer science students to advanced parts of automata theory (including infinite words, bisimulations,...) and to understand methods of their applications.
Syllabus
  • Methods of syntactic analyses of detCFLs.
  • LL(k) grammars and languages, properties and analyzers.
  • LR(k) grammars and languages, properties and analyzers.
  • Relationships between LL, LR and detCFL.
  • Transition systems and nondeterminism - bisimulation. Selected decidable problems related to process verification.
  • Automata and infinite words: infinite words, regular (rational) sets of infinite words.
  • Automata: deterministic and nondeterministic Buchi automata, Muller, Rabin, and Street automata. McNaughton theorem. Relationships.
