How would I draw a DFA (Deterministic Finite Automaton) for the following language? - {} (A language that's empty) - {ε} (A language of an empty string) My thinking is that it's not possible to draw a DFA for an empty language, but that it is for an empty string?
List all eight well-formed sentences of TFL that are sub-sentences of the followingsentence. ¬(P → (R ↔ (S ∨ T)))
You should simply fill in the blanks for part (i), and briefly justify your answers for parts (ii), (iii) and (iv). i. Let S ⊆ ATM. What do the elements of S look like ?e.g. “An element of S is a pair such that ”. ii. Define a subset S of AT M which is infinite and decidable.Note: You need to explicitly say/define here which elements of A are in your set S, not just that such an S exists. iii. T or F: For all languages L and J, if L is a recognizable but undecidable language, and J is an infinite decidable subset of L then L-J is undecidable. Explain your answer. iv. T or F: The complement of AT M also contains an infinite decidable subset. Explain your answer
Suppose L is a language over {a,b}, and there is a fixed integer k such that for every x ∈ Σ*, xz ∈ L for some string z with |z| ≤ k. Does it follow that there is an FA accepting L? Why or why not?

Let A be a language such that A ≤m PCP and ETM ≤m A. What can you say about A? Briefly explain your answer.
If A is any language, let ?− 1 2 be the set of all first halves of strings in A so that ?− 1 2 = (x | for some y, |x| = |y| and xy ϵ A}. Show that if A is regular, the so is ?− 1 2 .
Let Σ be the alphabet {a,b}. Let L be the language describe by Σ∗ − (ε|Σ∗b)aa(ε|bΣ∗), where the hyphen denotes set difference and ε de- notes the empty string. (Hint: L consists of the strings over Σ in which no maximal substring consisting solely of a’s is of length 2.) Draw a finite automa- ton that accepts L.
