Course objectives
The purpose of this course is twofold: to introduce computer science students to the rich heritage of models and abstractions that have arisen over the years, and to develop the capacity to form abstractions of their own and reason in terms of them.
Syllabus
  • Finite automata and regular grammars: Pumping lemma, Myhill-Nerode theorem, minimization of finite automata.
  • Properties of regular languages: closure properties, Kleene theorem, regular expressions.
  • Context-free grammars and languages: transformation of context-free grammars, selected normal forms, Pumping lemma, closure properties.
  • Pushdown automata and their relation to context-free grammars: top-down and bottom-up nondeterministic syntax analysis.
  • Deterministic pushdown automata.
