Examples of NFA

Example 1:

Design a NFA for the transition table as given below:

Present State 0 1
→q0 q0, q1 q0, q2
q1 q3 ε
q2 q2, q3 q3
→q3 q3 q3

Solution:

The transition diagram can be drawn by using the mapping function as given in the table.

Examples of NFA

Here,

Example 2:

Design an NFA with ∑ = {0, 1} accepts all string ending with 01.

Solution:

Hence, NFA would be:

Examples of NFA

Example 3:

Design an NFA with ∑ = {0, 1} in which double ‘1’ is followed by double ‘0’.

Solution:

The FA with double 1 is as follows:

Examples of NFA

It should be immediately followed by double 0.

Then,

Examples of NFA

Now before double 1, there can be any string of 0 and 1. Similarly, after double 0, there can be any string of 0 and 1.

Hence the NFA becomes:

Examples of NFA

Now considering the string 01100011

Example 4:

Design an NFA in which all the string contain a substring 1110.

Solution:

The language consists of all the string containing substring 1010. The partial transition diagram can be:

Examples of NFA

Now as 1010 could be the substring. Hence we will add the inputs 0’s and 1’s so that the substring 1010 of the language can be maintained. Hence the NFA becomes:

Examples of NFA

Transition table for the above transition diagram can be given below:

Present State 0 1
→q1 q1 q1, q2
q2 q3
q3 q4
q4 q5
*q5 q5 q5
