finite automaton is the graphical representation of language and regular grammar is the representation of language in expressions
A Buchi automaton is a regular automaton but reads infinite words instead of finite words. A word is defined to be in the language of the automaton iff a run of the automaton on it visits inifinitly many times in the group of final states (or receiving states).
This is called a discrete set (all points isolated) or a finite set. Finite sets are always discrete.

There are a finite number of apartments. Finite numbers may be large or small. There are a finite number of states. The number of molds in my fridge is not exactly finite.
finite automata
finite automaton is the graphical representation of language and regular grammar is the representation of language in expressions
The state machine described in the previous section is a deterministic finite automaton, in which each state is unique. What would make a finite automaton nondeterministic is if each state was not. For the example, if the state machine allowed the input to have any letter as the second letter for the word "person" to transition to the next, then the next state would not be unique, making it a nondeterministic finite automaton.
Finite Automata and Regular Expressions are equivalent. Any language that can be represented with a regular expression can be accepted by some finite automaton, and any language accepted by some finite automaton can be represented by a regular expression.

NFA - Non-deterministic Finite Automaton, aka NFSM (Non-deterministic Finite State Machine)
A biautomaton is a finite automaton which arbitrarily alternates between reading the input from the left and from the right.
A deterministic finite automaton will have a single possible output for a given input. The answer is deterministic because you can always tell what the output will be. A nondeterministic finite automaton will have at least one input which will cause a "choice" to be made during a state transition. Unlike a DFA, one input can cause multiple outputs for a given NFA.
DFA stands for Deterministic finite automaton and NFA stands for Nondeterministic finite automaton.Formally, an automaton is made up of: were delta is the transition function. In a DFA, delta takes as input a state and letter and returns only one state. In an NFA, delta takes as input a state and letter but returns a set of states.An NFA accepts a word iff there exists a run of the automaton on it (intuitively, the automaton guesses an accepting run). A DFA has only one run on every word and therefore accepts a word iff the single run on it is accepting.
A push down automaton can actually store information in a stack as it processes it. It can then choose what to do next by looking at the top of the stack. DFAs and NFAs can't do that stuff, but any DFA or NFA can also be represented as a push down automaton.
The defining characteristic of FA is that they have only a finite number of states. Hence, a finite automata can only "count" (that is, maintain a counter, where different states correspond to different values of the counter) a finite number of input scenarios.There is no finite automaton that recognizes these strings:The set of binary strings consisting of an equal number of 1's and 0'sThe set of strings over '(' and ')' that have "balanced" parenthesesThe 'pumping lemma' can be used to prove that no such FA exists for these examples.
Automaton Transfusion was created in 2008.
