Book Finite Automata and Regular Expressions

Download or read book Finite Automata and Regular Expressions written by Stefan Hollos and published by Abrazol Publishing. This book was released on 2013-08 with total page 154 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is a book about solving problems related to automata and regular expressions. It helps you learn the subject in the most effective way possible, through problem solving. There are 84 problems with solutions. The introduction provides some background information on automata, regular expressions, and generating functions. The inclusion of generating functions is one of the unique features of this book. Few computer science books cover the topic of generating functions for automata and there are only a handful of combinatorics books that mention it. This is unfortunate since we believe the connection between computer science and combinatorics, that is opened up by these generating functions, can enrich both subjects and lead to new methods and applications. We cover a few interesting classes of problems for finite state automata and then show some examples of infinite state automata and recursive regular expressions. The final problem in the book involves constructing a recursive regular expression for matching regular expressions. This book explains: * Why automata are important. * The relationship of automata to regular expressions. * The difference between deterministic and nondeterministic automata. * How to get the regular expression from an automaton. * Why two seemingly different regular expressions can belong to the same automaton. * How the regular expression for an infinite automaton is different than one for a finite one. * The relationship of a regular expression to a regular language. * What a generating function for a language tells you about the language. * How to get a generating function from a regular expression. * How the generating function of a recursive regular expression is different from that of an ordinary regular expression. * How to test divisibility properties of integers (binary and decimal based) using automata. * How to construct an automaton to search for a given pattern, or for a given pattern not occurring. * How to construct an automaton for arbitrary patterns and alphabets. * How the recursive regular expression for nested parentheses leads to the Catalan numbers. Included in this book: * Divisibility problems in binary and decimal. * Pattern search problems in binary, ternary, and quaternary alphabets. * Pattern search problems for circular strings that contain or do not contain a given pattern. * Automata, regular expressions, and generating functions for gambling games. * Automata and generating functions for finite and infinite correctly nested parentheses. * The recursive regular expression for matching regular expressions over a binary alphabet. * A further reading list.

Book Automata and Computability

Download or read book Automata and Computability written by Dexter C. Kozen and published by Springer. This book was released on 2013-11-11 with total page 399 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: These are my lecture notes from CS381/481: Automata and Computability Theory, a one-semester senior-level course I have taught at Cornell Uni versity for many years. I took this course myself in thc fall of 1974 as a first-year Ph.D. student at Cornell from Juris Hartmanis and have been in love with the subject ever sin,:e. The course is required for computer science majors at Cornell. It exists in two forms: CS481, an honors version; and CS381, a somewhat gentler paced version. The syllabus is roughly the same, but CS481 go es deeper into thc subject, covers more material, and is taught at a more abstract level. Students are encouraged to start off in one or the other, then switch within the first few weeks if they find the other version more suitaLle to their level of mathematical skill. The purpose of t.hc course is twofold: to introduce computer science students to the rieh heritage of models and abstractions that have arisen over the years; and to dew!c'p the capacity to form abstractions of their own and reason in terms of them.

Book Theory of Automata

    Book Details:
  • Author : Arto Salomaa
  • Publisher : Elsevier
  • Release : 2014-07-10
  • ISBN : 1483154394
  • Pages : 277 pages

Download or read book Theory of Automata written by Arto Salomaa and published by Elsevier. This book was released on 2014-07-10 with total page 277 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Theory of Automata deals with mathematical aspects of the theory of automata theory, with emphasis on the finite deterministic automaton as the basic model. All other models, such as finite non-deterministic and probabilistic automata as well as pushdown and linear bounded automata, are treated as generalizations of this basic model. The formalism chosen to describe finite deterministic automata is that of regular expressions. A detailed exposition regarding this formalism is presented by considering the algebra of regular expressions. This volume is comprised of four chapters and begins with a discussion on finite deterministic automata, paying particular attention to regular and finite languages; analysis and synthesis theorems; equivalence relations induced by languages; sequential machines; sequential functions and relations; definite languages and non-initial automata; and two-way automata. The next chapter describes finite non-deterministic and probabilistic automata and covers theorems concerning stochastic languages; non-regular stochastic languages; and probabilistic sequential machines. The book then introduces the reader to the algebra of regular expressions before concluding with a chapter on formal languages and generalized automata. Theoretical exercises are included, along with ""problems"" at the end of some sections. This monograph will be a useful resource for beginning graduate or advanced undergraduates of mathematics.

Book Finite Automata

    Book Details:
  • Author : Mark V. Lawson
  • Publisher : CRC Press
  • Release : 2003-09-17
  • ISBN : 9781584882558
  • Pages : 324 pages

Download or read book Finite Automata written by Mark V. Lawson and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2003-09-17 with total page 324 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Interest in finite automata theory continues to grow, not only because of its applications in computer science, but also because of more recent applications in mathematics, particularly group theory and symbolic dynamics. The subject itself lies on the boundaries of mathematics and computer science, and with a balanced approach that does justice to both aspects, this book provides a well-motivated introduction to the mathematical theory of finite automata. The first half of Finite Automata focuses on the computer science side of the theory and culminates in Kleene's Theorem, which the author proves in a variety of ways to suit both computer scientists and mathematicians. In the second half, the focus shifts to the mathematical side of the theory and constructing an algebraic approach to languages. Here the author proves two main results: Schützenberger's Theorem on star-free languages and the variety theorem of Eilenberg and Schützenberger. Accessible even to students with only a basic knowledge of discrete mathematics, this treatment develops the underlying algebra gently but rigorously, and nearly 200 exercises reinforce the concepts. Whether your students' interests lie in computer science or mathematics, the well organized and flexible presentation of Finite Automata provides a route to understanding that you can tailor to their particular tastes and abilities.

Book JavaScript Allong

  • Pages : 246 pages

Download or read book JavaScript Allong written by Reginald Braithwaite and published by Justin Kelly. This book was released on 2013-10-04 with total page 246 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: JavaScript Allongé solves two important problems for the ambitious JavaScript programmer. First, JavaScript Allongé gives you the tools to deal with JavaScript bugs, hitches, edge cases, and other potential pitfalls. There are plenty of good directions for how to write JavaScript programs. If you follow them without alteration or deviation, you will be satisfied. Unfortunately, software is a complex thing, full of interactions and side-effects. Two perfectly reasonable pieces of advice when taken separately may conflict with each other when taken together. An approach may seem sound at the outset of a project, but need to be revised when new requirements are discovered. When you “leave the path” of the directions, you discover their limitations. In order to solve the problems that occur at the edges, in order to adapt and deal with changes, in order to refactor and rewrite as needed, you need to understand the underlying principles of the JavaScript programming language in detail. You need to understand why the directions work so that you can understand how to modify them to work properly at or beyond their original limitations. That’s where JavaScript Allongé comes in. JavaScript Allongé is a book about programming with functions, because JavaScript is a programming language built on flexible and powerful functions. JavaScript Allongé begins at the beginning, with values and expressions, and builds from there to discuss types, identity, functions, closures, scopes, and many more subjects up to working with classes and instances. In each case, JavaScript Allongé takes care to explain exactly how things work so that when you encounter a problem, you’ll know exactly what is happening and how to fix it. Second, JavaScript Allongé provides recipes for using functions to write software that is simpler, cleaner, and less complicated than alternative approaches that are object-centric or code-centric. JavaScript idioms like function combinators and decorators leverage JavaScript’s power to make code easier to read, modify, debug and refactor, thus avoiding problems before they happen. JavaScript Allongé teaches you how to handle complex code, and it also teaches you how to simplify code without dumbing it down. As a result, JavaScript Allongé is a rich read releasing many of JavaScript’s subtleties, much like the Café Allongé beloved by coffee enthusiasts everywhere.
