Study Notes
Motivation behind Automata Theory
- The main motivation behind developing Automata Theory is to create a mathematical model to describe and analyze the behavior of computers and other computational devices.
Basic Concepts in Theory of Computation
- A string in the context of Theory of Computation is a finite sequence of symbols chosen from a particular character set or alphabet.
Closure Representation
- L* in Closure Representation represents the set of all possible strings that can be generated by concatenating zero or more strings from the language L.
Alphabets in Theory of Computation
- Alphabets (Σ) in the context of Theory of Computation are finite sets of symbols or characters used to build strings.
Building Blocks of Theory of Computation
- The smallest building block in the Theory of Computation is a symbol, which is a single character or element from the alphabet.
