Course Enrolment Limitations

The course is also offered to the students of the fields other than those the course is directly associated with.

fields of study / plans the course is directly associated with

• Computer Science and Technology (programme FPF, B1801 Inf)

Course objectives

Basic theorems of the classical formal language theory. We put emphasis to basic algorithms and proof techniques.

Syllabus

• 1. Turing machine. Basic model.
  2. Variants of the Turing machines.
  3. Turing machines and grammars of type 0.
  4. Generative power of the context-free grammars and acceptance of the pushdown automata.
  5. Generative power of regular grammars and acceptance of the finite automata.
  6. Chomsky hierarchy of formal languages. Typical examples.
  7. Closure properties of language classes of Chomsky hierarchy with respect to union, catenation and iteration.
  8. Closure properties of language classes of Chomsky hierarchy with respect to intersection.
  9. Acceptation power of the pushdown automata with respect to the finite automata.
  10. Acceptation power of the deterministic and nondeterministic pushdown automata
  Exercises follow the content of lectures.
