Introduction
• Finite automata is a state machine that takes a string of symbols as
input and changes its state accordingly.
• Finite automata is a recognizer for regular expressions.
• When a regular expression string is fed into finite automata, it
changes its state for each literal.
• If the input string is successfully processed and the automata reaches
its final state, it is accepted, i.e., the string just fed was said to be a
valid token of the language in hand.
The mathematical model of finite automata
consists of:
• Finite set of states (Q)
• Finite set of input symbols (Σ)
• One Start state (q0)
• Set of final states (qf)
• Transition function (δ)
• The transition function (δ) maps the finite set of state (Q) to a finite
set of input symbols (Σ), Q × Σ ➔ Q
Finite Automata Construction
• Let L(r) be a regular language recognized by some finite automata (FA).
• States : States of FA are represented by circles. State names are written inside circles.
• Start state : The state from where the automata starts, is known as the start state.
Start state has an arrow pointed towards it.
• Intermediate states : All intermediate states have at least two arrows; one pointing
to and another pointing out from them.
• Final state : If the input string is successfully parsed, the automata is expected to be
in this state. Final state is represented by double circles. It may have any odd number
of arrows pointing to it and even number of arrows pointing out from it. The number
of odd arrows are one greater than even, i.e. odd = even+1.
• Transition : The transition from one state to another state happens when a desired
symbol in the input is found. Upon transition, automata can either move to the next
state or stay in the same state. Movement from one state to another is shown as a
directed arrow, where the arrows points to the destination state. If automata stays
on the same state, an arrow pointing from a state to itself is drawn.
Example
• We assume FA accepts any three digit binary value ending in digit 1.
FA = {Q(q0, qf), Σ(0,1), q0, qf, δ}
Nondeterministic Finite Automaton (NFA)
• It is not deterministic since in state p reading a 1 can lead to p or to q.
It is not deterministic since in state q0 reading a can lead to q1 or q3
