Description
OUP India Theory Of Computation 2013 by Vivek Kulkarni
The book begins with basic concepts such as symbols alphabets sets relations graphs strings and languages. It then delves into the important topics including separate chapters on finite state machine regular expressions grammars pushdown stack Turing machine parsing techniques Post machine undecidability and complexity of problems. A chapter on production systems encompasses a computational model which is different from the Turing model called Markov and labelled Markovalgorithms. At the end the chapter on implementations provides implementation of some key concepts especially related to regular languages using C program codes.A highly detailed pedagogy entailing plenty of solved examples figures notes flowcharts and end-chapter exercises makes the text student-friendly and easy to understand.show more
