PDA Notes

A Pushdown Automaton (PDA) extends finite automata with a stack to recognize context-free languages, utilizing a Last In First Out (LIFO) stack. Key operations include pushing and popping symbols, with specific transition rules for different input symbols. PDAs are powerful for maintaining balance in languages, such as ensuring equal numbers of certain characters.

PUSH DOWN AUTOMATA (PDA) NOTES 1.

Introduction A Pushdown Automaton (PDA) is an


extension of a finite automaton with a stack. It is used to recognize context-free languages. 2. Stack
Concept - Stack follows LIFO (Last In First Out) - Special symbol Z0 represents bottom of stack 3.
Basic Operations - Push: Add symbol - Pop: Remove symbol 4. Example: Equal number of a and b
Rules: - Same → Push - Different → Pop - End with Z0 → Accept Transitions: δ(q0, a, Z0) = (q0,
aZ0) δ(q0, b, Z0) = (q0, bZ0) δ(q0, a, a) = (q0, aa) δ(q0, b, b) = (q0, bb) δ(q0, a, b) = (q0, ε) δ(q0, b,
a) = (q0, ε) δ(q0, ε, Z0) = (q1, Z0) 5. Language: 0^n 1^2n Idea: - Push for 0 - Pop for every two 1’s
Transitions: δ(q0, 0, Z0) = (q0, 0Z0) δ(q0, 0, 0) = (q0, 00) δ(q0, 1, 0) = (q1, 0) δ(q1, 1, 0) = (q2, ε)
δ(q2, 1, 0) = (q1, 0) δ(q2, ε, Z0) = (qf, Z0) 6. Key Points - Z0 is initial stack symbol - Stack handles
memory - States handle control logic 7. Common Mistakes - Confusing stack top - Missing
transitions - Not handling empty stack 8. Conclusion PDA is powerful for context-free languages
and uses stack to maintain balance.
