Solution

Sure, here are the steps to convert a Non-deterministic Finite Automaton (NFA) to a Deterministic Finite Automaton (DFA) using the subset construction method:

  1. Identify the NFA States: Start by identifying all the states in the NFA.

  2. Create the Initial DFA State: The initial state of the DFA is the set of all states reachable from the initial state of the NFA by ε-transitions alone. This is also known as ε-closure.

  3. Construct the Remaining DFA States: For each state in the DFA (each of which is a set of NFA states), and for each input symbol, compute the set of NFA states reachable by that input symbol and add it as a new state in the DFA. This is done by taking the union of ε-closures of all the states reachable from the current DFA state on the current input symbol.

  4. Identify the Final DFA States: Any DFA state that contains at least one final state of the NFA is a final state of the DFA.

  5. Create the DFA Transition Table: For each state in the DFA and for each input symbol, add a transition from the current state to the state computed in step 3 on the current input symbol.

  6. Eliminate Unreachable States: Finally, eliminate any states in the DFA that are not reachable from the initial state.

This process will result in a DFA that accepts the same language as the original NFA. The subset construction method is a systematic way of ensuring that every possible input string will be handled correctly by the DFA, even if the NFA had non-deterministic transitions.
