Description

Theory of Computation is designed to serve as a textbook for undergraduate students of computer science and engineering, computer applications, and information technology. It provides a comprehensive coverage of all the essential concepts of the subject. 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. The chapter on production systems describes a computational model, called Markov and labelled Markov algorithms, which is different from the Turing model. A comprehensive coverage of topics combined with a highly detailed pedagogy covering plenty of solved examples, figures, notes, flow charts, and chapter-end exercises makes this text a complete package for students.
