Introduction To The Theory Of Formal Languages
Formal language theory is a theoretical discipline in computer science that plays a foundational role in areas such as compilers design, programming language theory, information transmission, computational biology, etc.This unique volume is a succinct introduction to formal language theory suitable for an one-semester course. The main focus is on Chomsky's hierarchy of classes of languages ranging from regular languages to context-free, context-sensitive, and recursively enumerable languages. These classes are presented using both generative methods (grammars) as well as various analytical methods including finite automata, pushdown and linearly bounded automata, and Turing machine.The useful reference text contains a large number of exercises of various degree of difficulties and is intended as a textbook for an upper-level undergraduate or a graduate course in formal languages.
An Introduction to the Theory of Formal Languages and Automata
Author: Willem J. M. Levelt
language: en
Publisher: John Benjamins Publishing
Release Date: 2008
The present text is a re-edition of Volume I of Formal Grammars in Linguistics and Psycholinguistics, a three-volume work published in 1974. This volume is an entirely self-contained introduction to the theory of formal grammars and automata, which hasn't lost any of its relevance. Of course, major new developments have seen the light since this introduction was first published, but it still provides the indispensible basic notions from which later work proceeded. The author's reasons for writing this text are still relevant: an introduction that does not suppose an acquaintance with sophisticated mathematical theories and methods, that is intended specifically for linguists and psycholinguists (thus including such topics as learnability and probabilistic grammars), and that provides students of language with a reference text for the basic notions in the theory of formal grammars and automata, as they keep being referred to in linguistic and psycholinguistic publications; the subject index of this introduction can be used to find definitions of a wide range of technical terms. An appendix has been added with further references to some of the core new developments since this book originally appeared.
Introduction to Automata Theory, Formal Languages and Computation

Publisher: Pearson Education India
Release Date: 2013
Formal languages and automata theory is the study of abstract machines and how these can be used for solving problems. The book has a simple and exhaustive approach to topics like automata theory, formal languages and theory of computation. These descriptions are followed by numerous relevant examples related to the topic. A brief introductory chapter on compilers explaining its relation to theory of computation is also given.
