I'm trying to find a grammar of the highest type possible for this language:
L={0^2n 1^(n-1)|n>=1}
I only managed to do this:
S->00X
X->00X1|λ
Which is not type 3. I can't seem to figure out how to get it to type 3 (if that's even possible).
You can't do it, because L
is not a regular language.
Assume that L
is regular. Let w = 0^(2p)1^(p-1)
for some integer p>=1
, so that |w| > p
. Further, consider the strings x
, y
, and z
such that w = xyz
with |xy| <= p
, which means both x
and y
are sequences of 0s (since p < 2p
). By the pumping lemma, any string of the form xy^nz
is also in L
, but that means we can increase the number of 0s without increasing the number of 1s found in z
. Thus, our assumption that L
is regular must be false.
