Question: prove Certainly! Let's go through the proofs for * * complement * * , * * union * * , and * * intersection *

prove Certainly! Let's go through the proofs for **complement**,**union**, and **intersection** in more detail, thoroughly explaining each step and concept. ### 1.**Complementation of a Regular Language** #### Theorem: If a language \( L \) is regular, then its complement \(\overline{L}\) is also regular. #### Proof: 1.**Given**: A regular language \( L \), meaning there exists a Deterministic Finite Automaton (DFA)\( M =(Q,\Sigma,\delta, q_0, F)\) that recognizes \( L \).-\( Q \) is the set of states. -\(\Sigma \) is the alphabet. -\(\delta \) is the transition function \(\delta: Q \times \Sigma \to Q \), determining the next state. -\( q_0\) is the initial (start) state. -\( F \) is the set of final (accepting) states where, for any input string \( w \), if \( M \) ends in a state in \( F \),\( M \) accepts \( w \).2.**Goal**: To construct a DFA that recognizes the complement of \( L \),\(\overline{L}\), where: -\(\overline{L}=\Sigma^*\setminus L \), meaning it contains all strings that are not in \( L \).3.**Method**: - The idea is simple: to recognize the complement language \(\overline{L}\), we need a DFA that accepts exactly those strings that the DFA for \( L \) rejects. - The only change required is to **flip the accepting states** and the **non-accepting states** of the original DFA. - Specifically, the new DFA \( M'\) will have the same states and transitions as \( M \), but its accepting states will be \( Q \setminus F \)(the complement of the final states in the original DFA).4.**Construction**: - Let the new DFA \( M'=(Q,\Sigma,\delta, q_0, Q \setminus F)\), where: - The state set \( Q \), transition function \(\delta \), and start state \( q_0\) remain unchanged. - The final states are now \( Q \setminus F \)(states that were not final in \( M \)).5.**Conclusion**: - This new DFA \( M'\) recognizes the complement of \( L \),\(\overline{L}\), since it accepts exactly the strings that \( M \) rejects and rejects the strings that \( M \) accepts. - Thus, the complement of a regular language is also regular. ### 2.**Union of Two Regular Languages** #### Theorem: If two languages \( L_1\) and \( L_2\) are regular, then their union \( L_1\cup L_2\) is also regular. #### Proof: 1.**Given**: Two regular languages \( L_1\) and \( L_2\), with corresponding DFAs \( M_1=(Q_1,\Sigma,\delta_1, q_1, F_1)\) and \( M_2=(Q_2,\Sigma,\delta_2, q_2, F_2)\) that recognize \( L_1\) and \( L_2\), respectively. -\( Q_1\),\( Q_2\): States of DFAs \( M_1\) and \( M_2\).-\( F_1\),\( F_2\): Final states of \( M_1\) and \( M_2\).-\(\delta_1\),\(\delta_2\): Transition functions of \( M_1\) and \( M_2\).2.**Goal**: Construct a DFA that recognizes the union \( L_1\cup L_2\).3.**Method**: - The key technique is to construct a **product automaton**, a DFA that simulates both \( M_1\) and \( M_2\) in parallel. The idea is to track both automata's state simultaneously and accept if either one of them is in a final state. 4.**Construction**: - The state set \( Q \) of the new DFA \( M \) is the **Cartesian product** of the states of \( M_1\) and \( M_2\), i.e.,\( Q = Q_1\times Q_2\). A state in the new DFA represents a pair of states, one from \( M_1\) and one from \( M_2\).- The transition function \(\delta \) for \( M \) is defined as follows: for any symbol \( a \in \Sigma \) and any pair of states \((q_1, q_2)\in Q_1\times Q_2\),\[\delta((q_1, q_2), a)=(\delta_1(q_1, a),\delta_2(q_2, a)).\]- The start state of \( M \) is \((q_1, q_2)\), where \( q_1\) is the start state of \( M_1\) and \( q_2\) is the start state of \( M_2\).- The set of final states is \( F =\{(p_1, p_2)\in Q_1\times Q_2 : p_1\in F_1\text{ or } p_2\in F_2\}\). In other words, a string is accepted if **either**\( M_1\) or \( M_2\) is in a final state after processing the string. 5.**Conclusion**: - The resulting DFA \( M \) accepts exactly the strings that are accepted by \( M_1\) or \( M_2\), which means it recognizes \( L_1\cup L_2\).- Therefore, the union of two regular languages is regular. ### 3.**Intersection of Two Regular Languages** #### Theorem: If two languages \( L_1\) and \( L_2\) are regular, then their intersection \( L_1\cap L_2\) is also regular. #### Proof: 1.**Given**: Two regular languages \( L_1\) and \( L_2\), with corresponding DFAs \( M_1=(Q_1,\Sigma,\delta_1, q_1, F_1)\) and \( M_2=(Q_2,\Sigma,\delta_2, q_2, F_2)\) that recognize \( L_1\) and \( L_2\), respectively. 2.**Goal**: Construct a DFA that recognizes the intersection \( L_1\cap L_2\).3.**Method**: - Similar to the union case, we construct a **product automaton**. This time, however, we want the DFA to accept a string if **both** DFAs are in a final state after processing the string. 4.**Construction**: - The state set \( Q \) is again the Cartesian product \( Q_1\times Q_2\).- The transition function \(\delta \) is the same as in the union case: for any symbol \( a \in \Sigma \),\[\delta((q_1, q_2), a)=(\delta_1(q_1, a),\delta_2(q_2, a)).\]- The start state is \((q_1, q_2)
