Here we do a different video than usual, by looking at the underlying object used in theory: sets. This is a background material video for anyone who wants to understand any other video on this channel, and to do theory at all. Sets are very simple objects, but they have incredibly powerful behavior when we look at more "complicated" sets. Here we look at some simple operations, such as union, intersection, set difference, powerset, and the Cartesian product of two small sets.

▶ADDITIONAL QUESTIONS◀
1. Can you describe, using set operations, given three sets A, B, C, the set of all elements that are in at least two of the three sets?
2. How can one show that |A| = |B| if A, B are infinitely large sets? For example, if A was the integers, and B were the positive integers?
3. Is there a "set of all sets"?

Here we go over the notion of what a "simple" computer is, and how to simplify our notion of a computer. We think of what a "state" of a machine is in, and how these states relate together via "transitions." We think of other useful properties for such machines and how to abstract the details away to say something more general.

Here we start a new series that on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays, we will have "problem sets" for you to work on. I present several problems, and you solve them in the comments.
This problem set is about the linear time median algorithm video (link in the card), and some variants of the algorithm that I would like you to solve, or to show is impossible.

Here we show that deterministic context-free languages (DCFLs) are not closed under concatenation. The idea is to have two languages whose concatenation is the complement of {a^n b^n c^n : n at least 0}, which is not a DCFL.
A deterministic context-free language is the language of a deterministic pushdown automaton (DPDA). The essential idea is that a DPDA is equivalent to a PDA, except that there can only be one "choice" of transition from any state on any input, with anything on the stack. See https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GzR5FiiIogY&ab_channel=EasyTheory for more details.

Here we make two adjustments to PDAs that we can always assume: that the stack is forced to be empty, and that every transition either pushes or pops, but not both. This is the start of the conversion from CFG to PDA, and allows the stack to change height by 1 on every transition. (Note that the "final" step at the end of the video is not complete because it has triple-epsilon transitions in it; see if you can "fix" it ;)

Here we show that regular and context-free languages are not closed under a particular definition of shuffle, which permutes the characters in the strings of the given language. The trick with CFLs is to "permute" the runs of characters in a carefully chosen language.

Here we give an example of a language that cannot be shown to be non-regular using the "standard" pumping lemma, and then prove a more "generalized" version that works for this language.
