Kozen automata and computability pdf

Automata are formal— mostly restricted— models of computation. We will cover automata as specifications of formal languages and as restricted models of computation in their own right. We will primarily discuss three such automata, finite automata, pushdown automata, and turing machines, alongside their respective classes of formal languages, regular expressions, context-free languages, and recursively enumerable languages. We will use these models as touchstones for discussing issues of expressivity and computability more broadly. We will employ three programming projects to ground the theory covered in concrete implementations and to explore its applications such as lexing and parsing algorithms. The goal of CS is to build on CS in arming students with the ability to reason precisely and formally; to cover specific restricted models of computation and formal grammars that are standard and ubiquitous in the field; and to introduce undecidability and the fundamental limits of computation.
