\section*{Homework 7}

\begin{enumerate}
\item Suppose the context-sensitive grammar

\begin{center}
\begin{tabular}{lcl}
$S$ & $\rightarrow$ &  $bSAA\;|\; \epsilon$\\
$A$ & $\rightarrow$ & $a$\\
$bA$ & $\rightarrow$ & $Ab$\\
\end{tabular}
\end{center}

where $S$ is the starting symbol of the grammar. 
Give a derivation  of the string $"\!aaabaaabb"$. 
What can you say about the number of as and bs in the
strings recognised by this grammar.


\item Consider the following grammar 

\begin{center}
\begin{tabular}{l}
$S \rightarrow N\cdot P$\\
$P \rightarrow V\cdot N$\\
$N \rightarrow N\cdot N$\\
$N \rightarrow A \cdot N$\\
$N \rightarrow \texttt{student} \;|\; \texttt{trainer} \;|\; \texttt{team} \;|\; \texttt{trains}$\\
$V \rightarrow \texttt{trains} \;|\; \texttt{team}$\\
$A \rightarrow \texttt{The} \;|\; \texttt{the}$\\
\end{tabular}
\end{center}

where $S$ is the start symbol and $S$, $P$, $N$, $V$ and $A$ are non-terminals.
Using the CYK-algorithm, check whether or not the following string can be parsed
by the grammar:

\begin{center}
\texttt{The trainer trains the student team}
\end{center}

\item Transform the grammar

\begin{center}
\begin{tabular}{lcl}
$A$ & $\rightarrow$ & $0A1 \;|\; BB$\\
$B$ & $\rightarrow$ & $\epsilon \;|\; 2B$
\end{tabular}
\end{center}

\noindent
into Chomsky normal form.


%\item {\bf (Optional)} The task is to match strings where the letters are in alphabetical order---for example, 
%\texttt{abcfjz} would pass, but \texttt{acb} would not. Whitespace should be ignored---for example
%\texttt{ab c d} should pass. The point is to try to get the regular expression as short as possible!
