tell me the concept of Deterministic Finite Automata

Question

Accepted Answer

⚹ Deterministic Finite Automata (DFA) is a theoretical model of computation used in computer science to represent and manipulate a set of strings. ⚹ ⚹ A DFA is defined by a 5-tuple $(Q, \Sigma, \delta, q_0, F)$ where: ⚹ ‖ ▪ ⋮ $Q$ ⋮ is a finite set of states. ‖ ‖ ▪ ⋮ $\Sigma$ ⋮ is a finite set of input symbols (alphabet). ‖ ‖ ▪ ⋮ $\delta$ ⋮ is the transition function, $\delta: Q imes \Sigma ightarrow Q$. ‖ ‖ ▪ ⋮ $q_0$ ⋮ is the start state, where $q_0 \in Q$. ‖ ‖ ▪ ⋮ $F$ ⋮ is the set of accept states, where $F \subseteq Q$. ‖ ⚹ The DFA operates by reading a string of symbols from the input alphabet $\Sigma$ and transitioning between states according to the transition function $\delta$. If the DFA ends in an accept state after reading the entire input string, the string is accepted; otherwise, it is rejected. ⚹ ⚹ Here is an example of a DFA with the following components: ⚹ ‖ ▪ ⋮ $Q = \{q_0, q_1, q_2\}$ ‖ ‖ ▪ ⋮ $\Sigma = \{0, 1\}$ ‖ ‖ ▪ ⋮ $\delta$ defined as: ‖ ‖ ▪ ⋮ $\delta(q_0, 0) = q_1$ ‖ ‖ ▪ ⋮ $\delta(q_0, 1) = q_0$ ‖ ‖ ▪ ⋮ $\delta(q_1, 0) = q_2$ ‖ ‖ ▪ ⋮ $\delta(q_1, 1) = q_0$ ‖ ‖ ▪ ⋮ $\delta(q_2, 0) = q_2$ ‖ ‖ ▪ ⋮ $\delta(q_2, 1) = q_2$ ‖ ‖ ▪ ⋮ $q_0$ is the start state ‖ ‖ ▪ ⋮ $F = \{q_2\}$ ‖ ⚹ The LaTeX code to generate the graph of this DFA is as follows: ⚹ ```latex \documentclass{article} \usepackage{tikz} \usetikzlibrary{automata, positioning} \begin{document} \begin{tikzpicture}[shorten >=1pt, node distance=2cm, on grid, auto] ode[state, initial] (q_0) {$q_0$}; ode[state] (q_1) [right=of q_0] {$q_1$}; ode[state, accepting] (q_2) [right=of q_1] {$q_2$}; \path[->] (q_0) edge [bend left] node {0} (q_1) edge [loop above] node {1} () (q_1) edge [bend left] node {0} (q_2) edge [bend left] node {1} (q_0) (q_2) edge [loop above] node {0,1} (); \end{tikzpicture} \end{document} ``` ⚹ This code will generate a visual representation of the DFA with states $q_0$, $q_1$, and $q_2$, and the transitions as defined above. ⚹
