 \section{Simplification of Regular Expressions}
 Using bit-codes to guide  parsing is not a new idea.
+It was applied to context free grammars and then adapted by Henglein and Nielson for efficient regular expression parsing \cite{nielson11bcre}. Sulzmann and Lu took a step further by intergrating bitcodes into derivatives.
 
+The argument for complicating the data structures from basic regular expressions to those with bitcodes
+is that we can introduce simplification without making the algorithm crash or impossible to reason about.
+The reason why we need simplification is due to the shortcoming of a naive algorithm using Brzozowski's definition only. 
 The main drawback of building successive derivatives according to
 Brzozowski's definition is that they can grow very quickly in size.
 This is mainly due to the fact that the derivative operation generates

+Bit-codes look like this:
+\[			b ::=   S \mid  Z \; \;\;
+bs ::= [] \mid b:bs    
+\]
+They are just a string of bits, the names "S" and "Z"  here are kind of arbitrary, we can use 0 and 1 or binary symbol to substitute them. They are a compact form of parse trees.
+Here is how values and bit-codes are related:
