Solution

The given grammar is:

G:
S -> aS | AB
A -> e
B -> e
D -> b

The task is to remove all the e (epsilon) productions. Epsilon productions are the productions where a variable is directly producing an epsilon.

Step 1: Identify the nullable variables. A nullable variable is a variable that can generate an epsilon. Here, A and B are nullable variables because they directly produce an epsilon.

Step 2: For each production rule, generate new rules by removing the nullable variables in all possible ways.

The new set of production rules after removing the epsilon productions is:

S -> aS | AB | aS | a
A -> 
B -> 
D -> b

Note: The production rules A -> and B -> are not valid as they do not produce anything. They are included here for completeness and to show that A and B do not produce anything after removing the epsilon productions.

So, the reduced grammar is:

S -> aS | AB | aS | a
D -> b
