  1. Regular Grammars Chapter 7

  2. Regular Grammars A regular grammar G is a quadruple (V, , R, S), where: ●V is the rule alphabet, which contains nonterminals and terminals, ●  (the set of terminals) is a subset of V, ●R (the set of rules) is a finite set of rules of the form: XY, ●S (the start symbol) is a nonterminal.

  3. Regular Grammars In a regular grammar, all rules in R must: ● have a left hand side that is a single nonterminal ● have a right hand side that is: ●, or ●a single terminal, or ●a single terminal followed by a single nonterminal. Legal: Sa, S, and TaS Not legal: SaSa and aSaT

  4. Regular Grammar Example L = {w {a, b}* : |w| is even} Regular expression: ((aa)  (ab)  (ba)  (bb))* FSM:

  5. Regular Grammar Example L = {w {a, b}* : |w| is even} Regular expression: ((aa)  (ab)  (ba)  (bb))* FSM: Regular grammar: G = (V, , R, S), where V = {S, T, a, b},  = {a, b}, R = { S SaT SbT TaS TbS }

  6. Regular Languages and Regular Grammars Theorem: The class of languages that can be defined with regular grammars is exactly the regular languages. Proof: By two constructions.

  7. Regular Languages and Regular Grammars Regular grammar  FSM: grammartofsm(G = (V, , R, S)) = 1. Create in M a separate state for each nonterminal in V. 2. Start state is the state corresponding to S . 3. If there are any rules in R of the form Xw, for some w  , create a new state labeled #. 4. For each rule of the form Xw Y, add a transition from X to Y labeled w. 5. For each rule of the form Xw, add a transition from X to # labeled w. 6. For each rule of the form X, mark state X as accepting. 7. Mark state # as accepting. FSM  Regular grammar: Similarly.

  14. Regular Languages and Regular Grammars FSM  Regular grammar: Show by construction that, for every FSM M there exists a regular grammar G such that L(G) = L(M). Make M deterministic M’ = (K, , , s, A). Construct G = (V, , R, S) from M’. Create a nonterminal for each state in the M’. V = K. The start state becomes the starting nonterminal. S = s. For each transition (T, a) = U, make a rule of the form TaU. For each accepting state T, make a rule of the form T.
