Automata Theory and Formal Languages: Concepts and Practices

Automata Theory and Formal Languages: Concepts and Practices presents the difficult concepts of automata theory in a straightforward manner so that they can be easily grasped. The book includes diverse concepts and tools that play major roles in developing computing machines, algorithms and code. Automata theory includes numerous concepts such as finite automata, regular grammar, formal languages, context free and context sensitive grammar, push down automata, Turing machine, and decidability, which constitute the backbone of computing machines. Automata Theory and Formal Languages enables readers to gain sufficient knowledge and experience to construct and solve complex machines. Each chapter begins with key concepts followed by a number of important examples demonstrating the solution. The objective is to explain the concepts and to simultaneously help readers develop an understanding of their application with real world examples, including application of Context Free Grammars in programming languages and Artificial Intelligence, and cellular automata in biomedical problems. This easy-to-understand approach enables readers to develop the required skills and apply techniques to solve all types of problems related to automata theory. Presents the concepts of Automata Theory through a programming approach Helps readers understand key concepts by presenting solved real-world examples Provides readers with a simple approach to understanding key concepts such as Turing machine, which has typically presented difficulty for readers Includes coverage of applications of Automata Theory, which is important for the theory of computation, the mathematical underpinning of computer science, text processing, AI development, compilers, and hardware design INDICE: 1.
