Regular Expressions – Syntax
A regular expression is defined recursively using the following rules:
1. , , and are regular expressions for every

Regular Expressions Describe Regular Languages
Theorem: A language is regular if and only if it is described by a regular expression
Theorem 1: Every regular expression has an equivalent NFA Theorem 2: Every NFA has an equivalent regular expression
2/10/2020 CS332 ‐ Theory of Computation 4

NFA ‐> Regular expression
Theorem 2: Every NFA has an equivalent regex
Proof idea: Simplify NFA by “ripping out” states one at a
time and replacing with regexes

Generalized NFAs
• Every transition is labeled by a regex
• One start state with only outgoing transitions
• Only one accept state with only incoming transitions • Start state and accept state are distinct

is a finite set of variables
is a finite set of terminal symbols (disjoint from

Non context‐free languages?
• Could it be the case that every language is context‐free? 2/10/2020 CS332 ‐ Theory of Computation 28

Pumping Lemma for regular languages
Let be a regular language.
Then there exists a “pumping length”
such that where:
For every where , can be split into three parts

Pumping Lemma as a game
1. YOU pick the language 𝐿 to be proved non context‐free.
2. ADVERSARY picks a possible pumping length 𝑝.
3. YOU pick 𝑤 of length at least 𝑝.
4. ADVERSARY divides 𝑤 into 𝑢, 𝑣, 𝑥, 𝑦, 𝑧, obeying rules of the Pumping Lemma: |𝑣𝑦| 􏶔 0 and |𝑣𝑥𝑦| 􏶕 𝑝.
5. YOU win by finding 𝑖 􏶖 0, for which 𝑢𝑣𝑖𝑥𝑦𝑖𝑧 is not in 𝐿.
If regardless of how the ADVERSARY plays this game, you
can always win, then is non context‐free
