Which one of the following is FALSE?

  1. There is a unique minimal DFA for every regular language

  2. Every NFA can be converted to an equivalent PDA.

  3. Complement of every context-free language is recursive.

  4. Every nondeterministic PDA can be converted to an equivalent deterministic PDA.

Deterministic PDA cannot handle languages or grammars with ambiguity.

nondeterministic can handle languages with ambiguity and any context-free grammar.

Therefore,  every nondeterministic PDA cannot be converted to an equivalent deterministic PDA.

As we know there are several languages (CFL) for which we only have NPDA, i.e. these languages cannot be recognized by DPDA. For example
L= {$w^{}$$w^{r}$ | w ϵ {a,b}* } is a CFL but not DCFL, i.e. it can be recognized by NPDA but not by DPDA.

The above DFA accepts the set of all strings over $\{0,1\}$ that begin either with $0$ or $1$.end with $0$.end with $00$.contain the substring $00$.
