Context-Free Grammar (Formal)
A CFG is a 4-tuple 𝐺 = 𝑉,Σ,𝑅,𝑆
• 𝑉 is a finite set of variables
• Σ is a finite set of terminal symbols (disjoint from 𝑉)
• 𝑅 is a finite set of production rules of the form 𝐴 → 𝑤, where𝐴∈𝑉and𝑤∈(𝑉∪ Σ)∗
• 𝑆 ∈ 𝑉 is the start symbol

Context-Free Languages
𝐿 is a context-free language if it is the language of some CFG
Questions about CFLs
1. Which languages are not context-free?
2. How do we recognize whether 𝑤 ∈ 𝐿?
3. What are the closure properties of CFLs?

Pumping Lemma for context-free languages
Let 𝐿 be a context-free language.
Then there exists a “pumping length” 𝑝 such that
For every 𝑤 ∈ 𝐿 where |𝑤| ≥ 𝑝,
𝑤 can be split into five parts 𝑤 = 𝑢𝑣𝑥𝑦𝑧 where:
1. |𝑣𝑦| > 0
2. |𝑣𝑥𝑦| ≤ 𝑝
3. 𝑢𝑣𝑖𝑥𝑦𝑖𝑧𝐿forall𝑖 ≥ 0

Pumping Lemma example
Claim: 𝐿 = 𝑎𝑛𝑏𝑛𝑐𝑛 𝑛 ≥ 0} is not context-free
Proof: Assume 𝐿 is context-free with pumping length 𝑝
1.Find𝑤∈𝐿with 𝑤 ≥𝑝
2. Show that 𝑤 cannot be pumped
If 𝑤 = 𝑢𝑣𝑥𝑦𝑧 with |𝑣𝑦| > 0,|𝑣𝑥𝑦| ≤ 𝑝, then… Case 1: 𝑣, 𝑦 both contain only one kind of symbol Case 2: Either 𝑣 or 𝑦 contains two kinds of symbols

Pumping Lemma: Proof idea
Let 𝐿 be a context-free language. If 𝑤 ∈ 𝐿 is long enough, then every parse tree for 𝑤 has a repeated variable.
2/11/2020 CS332 – Theory of Computation 9

Pumping Lemma Proof
What does “long enough” mean? (How do we choose the pumping length 𝑝?)
• Let 𝐺 be a CFG for 𝐿
• Suppose the right-hand side of every rule in 𝐺 uses at
most 𝑏 symbols • Let 𝑝 = 𝑏 𝑉 +1
Claim: If 𝑤 ∈ 𝐿 with 𝑤 ≥ 𝑝, then the smallest parse tree for𝑤hasheightatleast 𝑉 +1
2/11/2020 CS332 – Theory of Computation 10

Pumping Lemma Proof
Claim: If 𝑤 ∈ 𝐿 with 𝑤 ≥ 𝑝, then the smallest parse tree for𝑤hasheightatleast 𝑉 +1
• By the pigeonhole principle, there is a path down the parse tree with a repeated variable 𝑅
• Choose two such occurrences within the bottom 𝑉 + 1 levels

Pushdown Automaton (formal)
A PDA is a 6-tuple (sorry) 𝑀 = (𝑄,Σ,Γ,𝛿,𝑞0,𝐹)
• 𝑄 is a finite set of states
• Σ is the input alphabet
• Γ is the stack alphabet
• 𝛿 : 𝑄 × Σ × Γ → 𝑃(𝑄 × Γ ) is the transition function 𝜀𝜀𝜀
• 𝑞0 is the start state
• 𝐹 is the set of final states
𝑀 accepts a string 𝑤 if, starting from 𝑞0 and an empty stack, there exists a path to an accept state that can be followed by reading all of 𝑤.

CFGs vs. PDAs
The language 𝐿(𝑀) of a PDA 𝑀 is the set of all strings it accepts.
Theorem (next time): The class of languages recognized by PDAs is exactly the context-free languages.

Closure Properties
• The class of CFLs is closed under the regular operations union, concatenation, star
• Beware: It is not closed under intersection or complement (Find a counterexample!)

Closure under union (Proof 1)
Let 𝐴 be a CFL recognized by PDA 𝑀 and let 𝐵 be a CFL
𝐴 Goal: Construct a PDA recognizing 𝐴 ∪ 𝐵

Closure under union (Proof 2)
