Finite Automata
A finite automata (FA) is a simple idealized
machine used to recognize patterns within input
taken from some character set (or alphabet) C.
the job of an FA is to accept or reject a input
depending on whether the pattern defined by the FA
occurs in the input.
Types of finite automata
Finite automata without output
Deterministic finite automata
Non-deterministic finite automata
Finite automata with output
Mealy machine
Moore machine
Finite State Diagram
• A graphic representation of a finite automata
A finite state diagram is a directed graph, where
nodes represent elements in Q (i.e., states) and arrows
are characters in  such that:
qa qb Indicates: transmission between qa to qb
with a.
The initial state is marked with: >
The final state(s) are marked with:
a
Deterministic finite automata
For each pair of states and possible input
chars, there is a unique next state (as specified
by the transitions), then the FA is
deterministic finite automata.
That means the DFA follow single path with
single transmission.
Deterministic finite automata
Q:Finite set of states
: Finite Alphabet
d: Transition function
- a total function from Qx to Q
q0:Initial/Start State
F :Set of final/accepting state

Non-Deterministic finite automata
For each pair of states and possible input
chars, there may be more then one next state
(as specified by the transitions), then the FA is
non-deterministic finite automata.
Conceptually, a nondeterministic FA can
follow many paths simultaneously.
Non-deterministic finite automata
(NDFA) or (NFA)
M = (Q,, , s, F) where
Q= Finite set of states
= Input alphabet
 = Q x  2^Q
s = Initial state
F = Final state
