Problem

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

  • (a|b)*abb(a|b)*

Solution

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

NFA

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