Syllabus
  • Motivation: finite reprezentation of infinite languages.
  • Finite automata and regular grammars: Pumping lemma, Myhill-Nerode theorem, 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.
  • Deterministic pushdown automata.
  • Turing machines, recursive and recursively enumerable languages.
