Advanced Theory in Computation
This is an advanced set of notes on the analysis of algorithms and their complexity. Of interest in these notes are the topics on string matching algorithms, such as Knuth-Morris-Pratt and Boyer-Moore. Suffix trees and dictionary techniques are also part of the discussion here. Among the methods to be shown in a way of analyzing algorithm efficiency are amortized analysis and randomized algorithms. It also treats the pairing technique, Ziv-Lempel coding; further topics on statistical adversaries, portfolio selection, and reservation-price policies that are objects of other techniques discussed herein.

Introduction to Theory of Computation Lecture Notes
These lecture notes give an introduction to the more fundamental parts of the theory of computation and begin by presenting finite automata, starting with deterministic and nondeterministic finite automata, their equivalence, and practical implications of these concepts. The lecture notes include sections on regular expressions and their relationship to finite automata, nonregular languages, and the Pumping Lemma to prove nonregularity. MyhillNerode Theorem, For understanding recognition of languages. The notes go further to present contextfree languages, including their ambiguity and properties of closure. The pumping lemma for contextfree languages is also discussed, while decidable and recognizable languages are informed by a deep underpinning in computational theory.

Theory of Computation Tutorials
This set of tutorials goes into the heart of the theory of computer science with formal languages and automatons, computability, and complexity. Topics to be discussed are regular and contextfree languages, finite automata, and pushdown automata. Consequently, resulting tutorials treat topics like Turing machines, Churchs thesis, and the problem of undecidability, whose examples include the and quot,halting problem and quot, in the exploration of the limits of computability. They look into complexity classes such as P, NP, and PSPACE, look into NPcompleteness, or provide an indepth treatment along with a wide introduction to the theoretical foundations of computer science.
