Non Deterministic Finite Automata

The document discusses non-deterministic finite automata (NFAs). It defines NFAs as theoretical models used in computer science to describe computation. NFAs consist of states, alphabets, transition functions, initial states, and accepting states. The document outlines how NFAs operate through state transition diagrams and compares them to deterministic finite automata. It also explains how to convert an NFA to a DFA using the subset construction algorithm and discusses the advantages and limitations of NFAs.

Non Deterministic finite

automata
Welcome to the world of Non Deterministic Finite Automata (NFA), where we
explore the power and applications of this fascinating concept in computer
science.

by AAMIR MUHAMMAD JUNAID


Definition and Importance of NFAs
A Non Deterministic Finite Automaton (NFA) is a theoretical model used to describe computation
in computer science. NFAs have various applications in areas such as natural language
processing, pattern matching, and compiler design.

Components of NFA
NFAs consist of states, an alphabet, a transition function, an initial state, and accepting
states.

Working of NFA
NFAs operate via state transition diagrams, which represent the possible transitions
between states.

Comparison with DFA


NFAs differ from Deterministic Finite Automata (DFA) in terms of their acceptance criteria
and transition function.
Conversion from NFA to DFA
Converting an NFA to a DFA allows for easier implementation and faster computation. We'll explore the
subset construction method, along with examples and step-by-step instructions.
