Context Free Grammar

Def: For every ContextFreeLanguage there is a ContextFreeGrammar that generates it and a PushDownAutomata that recognizes it.

A context-free grammar is a 4-tuple (V,Σ,R,S), where

  1. Element V$ is a finite set called the variables,
  2. Element Σ is a finite set, disjoint from V, called the terminals,
  3. Element R is a finite set of rules, with each rule being a variable and a string of variables and terminals, and
  4. Element SV is the start variable

An example of a rule is
