In the theory of formal languages, the pumping lemma for regular languages is a lemma that describes an essential property of all regular languages. Informally, it says that all sufficiently long strings in a regular language may be pumped —that is, have a middle section of the string repeated an arbitrary number of times—to produce a new ...
The pumping lemma for context-free languages (called just "the pumping lemma" for the rest of this article) describes a property that all context-free languages are guaranteed to have. The property is a property of all strings in the language that are of length at least p {\displaystyle p} , where p {\displaystyle p} is a constant—called the ...
The pumping lemma can't be used to prove that a given Language L is regular, since it provides a necessary, but not sufficient condition for regularity; cf. the "⇒" after "regular(L)" in the formal expression, and section Pumping_lemma_for_regular_languages#Converse_of_lemma_not_true. - Jochen Burghardt 08:47, 14 June 2023 (UTC)
Pumping lemma for context-free languages, the fact that all sufficiently long strings in such a language have a pair of substrings that can be repeated arbitrarily many times, usually used to prove that certain languages are not context-free; Pumping lemma for indexed languages; Pumping lemma for regular tree languages
Ogden's lemma is often stated in the following form, which can be obtained by "forgetting about" the grammar, and concentrating on the language itself: If a language L is context-free, then there exists some number (where p may or may not be a pumping length) such that for any string s of length at least p in L and every way of "marking" p or more of the positions in s, s can be written as
Health Risks of Unsafe, Unapproved Enhancement Pills. Unscrupulous business practices are so commonplace in the non-prescription male enhancement pill racket that the FDA actually maintains a list ...
The proof is essentially the same as the standard pumping lemma: use the pigeonhole principle to find copies of some nonterminal symbol in the longest path in the shortest derivation tree. Now we prove the first part of Parikh's theorem, making use of the above lemma.
Pumping lemma for regular languages, an alternative method for proving that a language is not regular. The pumping lemma may not always be able to prove that a language is not regular. The pumping lemma may not always be able to prove that a language is not regular.
