Question: 1 . Prove by contraction that L = { 1 ^ x 2 ^ y 1 ^ x + y | x > = 1
Prove by contraction that
L x y xy x and y is not Regular.
Must use the Pumping Lemma. points
HINT: Describe the language in English first.
Choose one S from L where S is longer than N
Describe S in terms of N and M
S
List all places v can be in S: ie all possible uvw mappings
Note: v has to be in the first N chars
v has to be where?
For each possible place for v in # above, is there is a way to repeatskip v to make it
go out of the language L
o Where v is:
o Repeat factor: i
o What does u vi w look like?
o Is u vi w in L
Thus, there was no way to break S into uvw and repeat or skip v
as much as we want. We found a counter example S that does not satisfy Pumping Lemma.
