Question

Transcribed Image Text:The image illustrates a Deterministic Finite Automaton (DFA) to be converted into a regular expression using a Generalized Nondeterministic Finite Automaton (GNFA). The DFA includes three states: \( q_1 \), \( q_2 \), and \( q_3 \).
- **State \( q_1 \):** This is the start state, indicated by an incoming arrow without a source state. It has:
- A self-loop with transitions on inputs 'a' and 'b'.
- A transition to state \( q_2 \) on input 'a' and 'c'.
- A transition to state \( q_3 \) on input 'c' and 'd'.
- **State \( q_2 \):**
- A self-loop with transitions on inputs 'b' and 'd'.
- A transition to state \( q_3 \) on input 'b' and 'c'.
- **State \( q_3 \):**
- A transition back to state \( q_1 \) on inputs 'a' and 'd'.
All states are represented by circles, and transitions are depicted as arrows labeled with the respective input symbols. Each state corresponds to a particular stage in the DFA, processing specific input characters according to the provided transitions. The goal is to convert the behavior of this DFA into a regular expression that describes the same language.
