If A is any language, let − be the set of all first halves of strings in A so that ,
Show that if A is regular, then so is −
The construction in Theorem 1.54 shows that every GNFA is equivalent to a GNFA with only two states. We can show that an opposite phenomenon occurs for DFAs. Prove that for every , a language exists that is recognized by a DFA with k states but not by one with only states
Question:
a. Let and Show that B is a regular language.
b. Let and Show that C isn’t a regular language.
The pumping lemma says that every regular language has a pumping length P , such that every string in the language can be pumped if it has length p or more. If P is a pumping length for language A, so is any length The minimum pumping length for A is the smallest p that is a pumping length for A . For example, if , the minimum pumping length is 2.The reason is that the string is in A and has length 1 yet s cannot be pumped; but any string A in of length 2 or more contains a 1 and hence can be pumped by dividing it so that is the rest. For each of the following languages, give the minimum pumping length and justify your answer.

Let be the same as in Problem 1.33. Consider each row to be a binary number and let the top row of w is a larger number than is the bottom row}. For example, , but . How that D is regular.
