[Tinisha]

Theobjective of this course is to provide an understanding of the theory of automata, computability of problems and complexity of computations. Different models of computation will be introduced and their comparisons will be done.

Upon succesful completion of this course, a student will be able to1. understand the functioning of Finite-State Machines, Deterministic Finite-State Automata, Nondeterministic Finite-State Automata and Pushdown Automata;2. create Automata to accept strings from various simple languages;3. understand Formal Grammars;4. discuss the difference between Regular, Context-Free and Context-Sensitive languages;5. give grammars to produce strings from specific languages.

Students taking this module will be introduced to the concepts of formal languages and the abstract machines that accept them as a way of describing computation. Students will have a deep understanding of finite automata and pushdown automata, with their associated languages and related proof techniques, and will be introduced to more complex machines accepting context sensitive and recursively enumerable languages for purposes of being able to identify and describe them.

Describe and illustrate the concepts of formal languages, automata and grammars, and the relations between them;Construct a variety of abstract machines including: deterministic and non-deterministic finite automata, deterministic and non-deterministic pushdown automata and Turing machines;Distinguish different classes of automata, and the languages they accept;Apply a variety of operations to transform and convert between automata;Convert between grammars and automata for regular and context-free languages;Demonstrate that a grammar is ambiguous;Apply the pumping lemma for regular and context-free languages to show a language is not regular or context-free respectively;Describe the Chomsky hierarchy;Identify key applications in computing where regular and context-free languages are used in practice; andUse automata theory as the basis for building lexers and parsers.

The ARI Mathematics Cluster invites OeAW colleague Ronny Ramlau (Johannes Kepler University Linz and RICAM of the OeAW) to an ARI Guest Talk. Ronny Ramlau will talk about "Frame Decompositions - Theory and Applications in Adaptive Optics and Tomography".

The mathematical theory of frames is used at the Acoustics Research Institute (ARI) of the OeAW to study representations of acoustic signals. However, this fundamental theory is also used in other applications with great success.

Ronny Ramlau is Professor and Head of Institute at the Industrial Mathematics Institute at the Johannes Kepler University Linz and Scientific Director of the Johann Radon Institute for Computational and Applied Mathematics (RICAM) of the Austrian Academy of Sciences (OeAW), Linz, Austria.

ABSTRACT: R. Ramlau and S. Hubmer, Johannes Kepler University Linz, Industrial Mathematics Institute, and Johann Radon Institute for Computational and Applied Mathematics, Austrian Academy of Sciences, Linz, Austria:

The theory of Inverse Problems is concerned with the recovery of underlying information from measurements. A prominent example for such a task is the recovery of the density distribution of a human body from Computerized Tomography (CT) data. Mathematically, the relation between data y and the searched-for quantity x can be described by an operator equation Ax = y, i.e., the operator A needs to be inverted to recover x. This is in particular complicated if A is ill-posed and only noisy measurements are available. Regularization methods are commonly used to stabilize the inversion process. They are computationally cheap if the singular value decomposition is available. An alternative is a frame based decomposition of the operator A, in which case also x is represented by a frame. In our talk we present a regularization theory based on frame decompositions and present applications both from Computerized Tomography and Adaptive Optics.

The Acoustics Research Institute (ARI) of the Austrian Academy of Sciences conducts application-oriented fundamental research in the field of acoustics. The ARI consists of six groups working in close collaboration to address these research demands. Each of the groups is active in both fundamental and applied research, aiming for scientific excellency, particularly in interdisciplinary projects.
