Question

A multi-start NFA (MSN FA) is defined similarly as to a standard N FA. except that we are allowed to have some integer k greaterthanorequalto 1 start status, and can choose any of them we want factor we food an input strong to the machine. What can we inter about the languages that MSNFAs recognize? MSNFAs recognize fewer languages than NFAs do because some strings that normally would be accepted will not now if we have more start states. MSNFAs recognize more languages than NFAs do because we recognize more stings when we have at least 2 start states MSNFAs recognize the same languages as NFAs do because we can add an extra start state with epsilon -transitions to all of the old start states to get an NFA with the same language MSNFAs recognize a different set of languages than NFAs do because there are several examples of MSNFAs that have no NFA accepting them, and we versa. It cannot be determined from the given Information.

Explanation / Answer

A multi-start NFA is defined similarly as to a standard NFA, except that we are allowed to have some integer k >= 1 start states, and can choose any of them we want before we feed an input string to the machine.

From this statement we can infer that:

MSNFAs recognize the same language as NFAs do because, we can add an extra start state with epsilon transitions to all of the old start states to get an NFA with the same language.
