Let $D_f$ and $D_p$ denote the classes of languages accepted by deterministic finite automata and deterministic push-down automata respectively. Which one of the following is TRUE? $D_f \subset N_f \text{ and } D_p \subset N_p$ $D_f \subset N_f \text{ and } D_p = N_p$ $D_f = N_f \text{ and } D_p = N_p$ $D_f =N_f \text{ and } D_p \subset N_p$ Theory of Computation gatecse-2005 theory-of-computation easy non-determinism + – Kathleen 6.8k views answer comment Share Follow Print 0 reply Please log in or register to add a comment.
Best answer 34 34 votes Correct Option: D NFA and DFA both have equivalent power.(every nfa can be converted into equivalent DFA) but NPDA can accept more languages than DPDA. shree answered Dec 26, 2014 • edited May 6, 2021 by soujanyareddy13 shree comment Share Follow See 1 comment 1 1 comment reply quack_quack commented Jul 12 reply Follow flag NPDA can accept more languages than DPDA because of null moves right? 0 0 replyShare Please log in or register to add a comment.
