Introduction to Formal Languages, Automata Theory and Computation

Introduction to Formal Languages, Automata Theory and Computation presents the theoretical concepts in a concise and clear manner, with an in-depth coverage of formal grammar and basic automata types. The book also examines the underlying theory and principles of computation and is highly suitable to the undergraduate courses in computer science and information technology. An overview of the recent trends in the field and applications are introduced at the appropriate places to stimulate the interest of active learnersSilent FeaturesNumerous worked-out examples and problems to facilitate easier recapitulation of the concepts learnt Exhaustive coverage of computability and decidability through Turing machines Advanced topics on formal languages and new models of computation for the benefit of the students contemplating an in-depth research Multiple-choice questions designed in a way to help students understand the basics.
