Subset Construction: NFAs to DFAs (Theory of Computing)
Now that we have studied more about nondeterminism and nondeterministic finite automata, we try to answer a fundamental question about NFAs: Do they recognize more languages than DFAs? We see a procedure that allows us to take any NFA and build a DFA that recognizes the same language. We haven't proven this construction is correct yet, but this will summarize how to carry out the subset construction!
