Let x be a string, and let M be a Finite Automaton with just one Final State that accepts the strings x and xx. (a) Prove, by induction on n, that M accepts the string x" for every n2 1. (b) Would the same statement hold if M is a Nondeterministic Finite Automaton, also with just one Final State, instead? Why or why not?

Provide a complete set of transitions for the Turing Machine that scans to the right until it finds the first ab combination and then halts. The alphabet of this Turing Machine is (a, b, u, }.
Think about the concept of extended transition functions δ* and ∆* of Deterministic Finite Automata and Nondeterministic Finite Automata respectively. Prove the following facts about those functions using mathematical induction. 1. Given a DFA M = (Q, Σ, δ, s0, F) and strings x, y ∈ Σ*, we have δ*(q, xy) = δ*(δ*(q, x), y). 2. Given a NFA N = (Q, Σ, ∆, S0, F), subsets A ⊆ Q, B ⊆ Q and a string x ∈ Σ∗, we have ∆* (A ∪ B, x) = ∆*(A, x) ∪ ∆*(B, x).
Give the transition diagram for a one-tape Turing machine that recognizes the language L = {anbkn: n>=1, k>=1}. That is, L is the language of words of the form aibj where j is a multiple of i, so aabbbb; aaabbb; abbbbbbb ∈ L but aabbb ∉ L. Your TM must be a one-tape machine.
The state diagram below represents a Finite Automaton (FA) for input strings that are integers represented as binary. The machine gives the output 0 for integers, which are multiples of 2, and the output 1 for the others. What state is associated with the output 0? What state is associated with the output 1? What type of finite automata with output is illustrated in the state diagram? Why? Will the machine accept a set of 12 input string in binary form? Why? What is the expected output for 110 as an input string?

Computer Science Design a deterministic finite automaton, with a minimal number of states, recognizing the language described by the regular expression 01(0 ∪ 1) *00(0 ∪ 1) *10. Justify correctness of your construction. Explain why your automaton has the minimal number of states.
Suppose we make the restriction that a Turing machine must always write a symbol different from the one it reads, that is, if δ(qi; a) = (qj ; b; L or R), then a and b must be different. Does this limitation reduce the power of the automaton? Explain.
With the following information about a Turing Machine (automata): Q = { q0, q1 }Σ = { a, b }, Γ= { a, b, ◻︎ }F = { q1 }δ(q0, a) = (q0, b, R)δ(q0, b) = (q0, b, R)δ(q0, ◻︎) = (q1, ◻︎, L) Make a transition graph.
Construct a Turing machine that takes strings over the alphabet {a,b} on the tape, and moves the whole string over to the right one cell position. When you're done, the tape should essentially look the same (since it's infinite on both ends…) but you will know (and people who look at your code will know) that in fact you moved the string over by one space to the right. After moving the string over, the turing machine should move to the left-most cell in the string and than go to the HALT state.
(b) The following is the state diagram of a Turing machine M1 with inputalphabet {0, 1} and accept state q5. (Missing transition arrows are assumed to lead to a reject state, not shown.) (i) Give the sequence of configurations of M1 on the input string 01,starting with initial configuration q001.
