Question

Consider the following statements with respect to the language L = {a nb n|n≥ 0}

S 1: L 2is context free language

S 2: L kis context-free language for any given k ≥ 1

S 3: L̅ and L* are context free languages

Which one of the following is correct?

The correct answer is

S 1, S 2and S 3

L is context-free, and context-free languages are closed under concatenation and Kleene star. Therefore \(L^2\), every fixed \(L^k\) and \(L^*\) are context-free.

Although CFLs are not generally closed under complement, \(L=\{a^n b^n\mid n\ge0\}\) is deterministic context-free: a DPDA pushes for a’s and pops for b’s. DCFLs are closed under complement, so \(\overline L\) is also context-free. All three statements are true.
