Problem

Use Thompson's algorithm to build the NFA for the following regular expression. Build the corresponding DFA and minimize it.

  • (a|b)*

Solution

The non-deterministic finite automaton (NFA), built by applying Thompson's algorithm to the regular expression (a|b)* is the following:

NFA for (a|b)*

Applying the determination algorithm to the above NFA, the following determination table is obtained:

In α∈Σ move(In, α) ε-closure(move(In, α)) In+1 = ε-closure(move(In, α))
- - 0 0, 1, 2, 4, 7 0
0 a 3 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 7 1
0 b 5 1, 2, 4, 5, 6, 7 2
1 a 3 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 7 1
1 b 5 1, 2, 4, 5, 6, 7 2
2 a 3 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 7 1
2 b 5 1, 2, 4, 5, 6, 7 2
Graphically, the DFA is represented as follows:

Given the minimization tree to the right, the final minimal DFA is:

The minimization tree is as follows. As can be seen, the states are indistinguishable.
