Question: L is a language defined as $\ L = \{1^l | l\in primes\}$ (strings of 1s having a prime length). Show that this is not a regular language ($\ L \notin REG$). You may either use the theory ...

This is a question from a text book that's giving me some trouble. The question is: Determine whether or not this language is regular. Justify your answer. $$L = \{ww : w \in \{a,b\}^* \}$$ I ...

I was trying to approach this proof, after multiple reads and attempts I am getting nowhere. If someone could help me out that would be great. Should I use the pumping lemma, if so how show I start, ...

I know that the language $\{a^m b^n | n\neq m\}$ satisfies the pumping lemma, but it's still not regular (I have to count the # of a's and b's). How can I formally prove it?

My language is the repetition of 0 to a length that's a power of 2: $L = \{ 0^k \ni k=2^n, n \geq 1 \}$ I want to know how to prove that this language is not regular. I have attempted the proof ...

How to show that the language containing the words whose length is a power of $2$, $L=\{w\mid|w|=2^i\}$, isn't regular using the pumping lemma? The pumping lemma says that Let be M a regular language....

Question: ($B$ and $C$ are languages) $B$ is finite,$C$ isn't regular: Prove/Disprove: $C\cup B$ isn't regular. Thoughts: My intuition says this is true, but I need an idea to prove it. Since I don'...

In general, how can we go about proving that union of two languages as non regular. In this case, the individual languages can be proved as non regular using pumping lemma. How can we apply pumping ...

I'm struggling to understand this question using pumping lemma to prove a language is not regular. Any help would be appreciated. Prove using the Pumping Lemma that the following language is not ...

Let $\Sigma = \{0,1\}$. For every word $w \in \Sigma^*$, let $|w|_0$ and $|w|_1$ denote the count of 0's and 1's, respectively, in $w$. Let $L$ be the language $$L = \{ w \in \Sigma^* \mid |w|_0 \gt |...

I am working on a pumping lemma question and trying to prove that the following is not regular, but I can't finish the proof, if someone can help me it will be great. So I am given this language: $L ...

L ={ $a^{m^n}$ | $m$>$n$ } I am bit confuse whether to consider this language as L = $(a^{m})^{n}$ OR L = $a^{\left(m^n\right)}$. If it is considered as L = $(a^m)^{n}$ then want to check it ...

Using pumping lemma, how can I prove that $L=\{a^n b^m c^k \mid n = m \vee m\neq k\}$ is not regular?. If I choose $w= a^m b^m c^m$ and pump up with $i=2$, if have $a^m=1 b^m c^m$ but the string is ...

I need to prove that the following language is not regular $\{c^mb^na^n \mid n>0,m\geq0\}$ But I am not sure how to do that for this particular one. I vaguely understand pumping lemma, but every ...

The question I'm working from is: Prove whether or not a finite automation exists that recognises the following language: B = {ww | w ∈ {a,b,c,...,z)*} EDIT So I believe this is a non-regular ...
