(DiscreteMath) ## Deterministic Finite Automaton (DFA) for Divisibility by 3This section covers a Deterministic Finite Automaton (DFA) used to determine whether a binary number is divisible by 3. ### DescriptionThe DFA illustrated in the diagram below has the alphabet set Σ = {0, 1}. It is constructed specifically for checking whether a given binary number is divisible by three. The DFA processes the binary input digit by digit and moves between states to ascertain divisibility.### DFA DiagramThe diagram represents a DFA with three states. Each state is illustrated by a circle, with arrows indicating transitions based on binary input:1. **States**: - The leftmost state is the **initial and accepting state** (double-circled), indicating a remainder of 0 when the binary number is divided by 3. - The middle state indicates a remainder of 1. - The rightmost state indicates a remainder of 2.2. **Transitions**: - From the initial state (remainder 0): - An input of 0 loops back to the initial state. - An input of 1 transitions to the middle state (remainder 1). - From the remainder 1 state: - An input of 0 transitions to the rightmost state (remainder 2). - An input of 1 loops back to the initial state. - From the remainder 2 state: - An input of 0 remains in the same state. - An input of 1 transitions back to the remainder 1 state.### Proof of EfficiencyAssuming the input to this DFA is a binary number \( n \), we aim to show that the DFA can determine whether \( n \) is divisible by 3 within a number of steps \( O(\log(n)) \).- The length of the binary representation of a number \( n \) is \( \log_2(n) \). This means that the number of steps required to process the binary digits of \( n \) is proportional to the length of its binary representation, which is \( O(\log(n)) \).Therefore, the DFA operates efficiently, requiring a logarithmic number of steps relative to the size of the input binary number \( n \).

The FSA shown below has I = {0, 1} and determines whether or not a binary number is divisible by three. Assuming that the input to this FSA is a binary number n, prove that the FSA can determine whether n is divisible by 3 in a number of steps which is O(lg(n)).
