Question 74Asked in UGC NET Computer Science, June 2017 (Paper II & III, Selected Questions)
Which of the following pairs have different expressive power?
ASingle-tape-turing machine and multi-dimensional turing machine
BMulti-tape turing machine and multi-dimensional turing machine
CDeterministic push down automata and non-deterministic pushdown automata.
DDeterministic finite automata and Non-deterministic finite automata
Show answerHide answer
Correct answer: (C) Deterministic push down automata and non-deterministic pushdown automata.
Explanation
Deterministic and non-deterministic pushdown automata have different expressive power (NPDA accept all context-free languages, DPDA only deterministic CFLs). DFA and NFA are equivalent, and all the Turing machine variants are equivalent.
