At the end of the course students should be able to: explain the basics of theory of formal languages and automata; explain the basics of complexity theory; apply these theories in common practice;
Syllabus
  • Finite automata and regular grammars: Pumping lemma, minimization of finite automata, nondeterministic finite automata
  • Properties of regular languages: closure properties, regular expressions, Kleene theorem.
  • 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.
  • Turing machines, recursive and recursively enumerable languages, decidability of problems, reduction.
  • Computational complexity of algorithms and problems.
  • Complexity classes: polynomial reduction, completeness and hardness of problems, NP-complete problems.
