1. If <math>L</math> and <math>L'</math> are both recursively enumerable, then <math>L</math> is recursive. Why?

Solution by Arjun Suresh

Given <math>L</math> is $RE$. So there is a $TM$, which accepts and halts for all words in <math>L</math>. Now, if <math>L'</math> is $RE$, then there is a $TM$, which accepts and halts for all words not in <math>L</math>. So, if a word is given (either from <math>L</math> or not from <math>L</math>), give it to both those $TM$s. If its from $L$, the first $TM$ will halt and we say it belongs to $L$. If its not from $L$, the second one will halt and we say it doesn't belong to <math>L</math>. Thus, <math>L</math> becomes recursive.

2. CYCLE(L) ={xy | yx is in L ,L is regular }

Is this statement true or false ?

Solution by Arjun Suresh

We have a DFA for L, let it be D and have n states. Now we can make a NFA N for L' as follows: Our start state will be the final state of D. For every transition on a symbol s from state x to y in D, we will have a transition from y to x. Further we add the following modification to the DFA: For every state of N, we append the part of D till that state (all reachable transitions reaching that state). For example, for the start state in N(the final state in D), we'll append the whole D as it is. (This would mean every string accepted by D will be accepted by N also). For the below DFA, the appending is shown for state 1

This is a graph with borders and nodes. Maybe there is an Imagemap used so the nodes may be linking to some Pages.
