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)*
HTTP-Response: 
error code: 1015


Diagram-Code:
digraph nfa {
     { node [shape=circle style=invis] start }
  rankdir=LR; ratio=0.5
  node [shape=doublecircle,fixedsize=true,width=0.2,fontsize=10]; 7
  node [shape=circle,fixedsize=true,width=0.2,fontsize=10];
  start -> 0
  0 -> 1 
  1 -> 2 
  1 -> 4
  2 -> 3 [label="a",fontsize=10]
  4 -> 5 [label="b",fontsize=10]
  3 -> 6
  5 -> 6
  6 -> 1
  6 -> 7
  0 -> 7
  fontsize=10
}

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:
HTTP-Response: 
error code: 1015


Diagram-Code:
digraph dfa {
     { node [shape=circle style=invis] start }
  rankdir=LR; ratio=0.5
  node [shape=doublecircle,fixedsize=true,width=0.2,fontsize=10]; 0 1 2
  node [shape=circle,fixedsize=true,width=0.2,fontsize=10];
  start -> 0
  0 -> 1 [label="a"]
  0 -> 2 [label="b"]
  1 -> 1  [label="a"]
  1 -> 2  [label="b"]
  2 -> 1 [label="a"]
  2 -> 2 [label="b"]
  fontsize=10
}

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

HTTP-Response: 
error code: 1015


Diagram-Code:
digraph dfamin {
     { node [shape=circle style=invis] start }
  rankdir=LR; ratio=0.5
  node [shape=doublecircle,fixedsize=true,width=0.4,fontsize=10]; 012
  node [shape=circle,fixedsize=true,width=0.2,fontsize=10];
  start -> 012
  012 -> 012 [label="a"]
  012 -> 012 [label="b"]
  fontsize=10
  /*label="DFA for (a|b)*"*/
}
The minimization tree is as follows. As can be seen, the states are indistinguishable.
HTTP-Response: 
error code: 1015


Diagram-Code:
digraph mintree { 
  node [shape=none,fixedsize=true,width=0.2,fontsize=10]
  " {0, 1, 2}" -> "{}" [label="NF",fontsize=10]
  " {0, 1, 2}" -> "{0, 1, 2}" [label="F",fontsize=10]
  "{0, 1, 2}" -> "{0, 1, 2} " [label="a,b",fontsize=10]
  fontsize=10
  /*label="Minimization tree"*/
}
