Expert Solution
Step 1

Given:

  • Give a recursive definition for the set of all strings of a’s and b’s where n a’s followed by n b’s (where n= 0, 1, 2, 3, ...). (Assume, S is set of all strings of a’s and b’s. Then S = {λ, ab, aabb, aaabbb, ...  )
  • Give a recursive definition for the set of all strings of 'a' 's and 'b' 's that ends with an 'ab'. (Assume, S is set of all strings of a’s and b’s. Then S = {ab, aab, bab, abab, baab, aaab, bbab, ...  ).
