Proof: By two constructions.Regular Languages and Regular GrammarsRegular grammar FSM: grammartofsm(G = (V, , R, S)) = 1. Create in M a separate state for each nonterminal in V. 2. Start state is the state corresponding to S . 3. If there are any rules in R of the form X w, for some w , create a new state labeled #. 4. For each rule of the form X w Y, add a transition from X to Y labeled w. 5. For each rule of the form X w, add a transition from X to # labeled w. 6. For each rule of the form X , mark state X as accepting. 7. Mark state # as accepting.FSM Regular grammar: Similarly.Example 1 - Even Length Strings S T aS aT T bS bT T aS T bSStrings that End with aaaaL = {w {a, b}* : w ends with the pattern aaaa}.
