Let $Σ = \{a, b, c\}$. Which of the following statements is true ?
a)For any $A ⊆ Σ^*$, if $A$ is regular, then so is $\{xx | x ∊ A\}$
b)For any $A ⊆ Σ^*$, if $A$ is regular, then so is $\{x | xx ∊ A\}$
c)For any $A ⊆ Σ^*$, if $A$ is context-free, then so is $\{xx | x ∊ A\}$
d)For any $A ⊆ Σ^*$, if $A$ is context-free, then so is $\{x | xx ∊ A\}$
We can get a DFA for $L = \{x | xx ∊ A\}$ as follows: Take DFA for $A$ $(Q, \delta, \Sigma, S, F)$ with everything same except initially making $F = \phi$. Now for each state $D \in Q$, consider 2 separate DFAs, one with $S$ as the start state and $D$ as the final state and another with $D$ as the start state and set of final states $⊆ F$. If both these DFAs accept same language make $D$ as final state.
This procedure works as checking the equivalence of 2 DFAs is decidable.
Contradictions for other choices
a) Consider $A = Σ^*$. Now for $w \in A, L = \{xx | x \in A\} = \{ww | w \in Σ^*\} $ which is context sensitive
c) Same example as for (a)
d)Consider $A = \{a^nb^nc^*a^*b^nc^n|n\ge0\} $ This is CFL. But if we make L from A as per (d), it'll be $L = \{a^nb^nc^n|n\ge0\}$ which is not context free..
Let Σ = {a, b, c}. Which of the following statements is true ?
a)For any A ⊆ Σ*, if A is regular, then so is {xx | x ∊ A}
b)For any A ⊆ Σ*, if A is regular, then so is {x | xx ∊ A}
c)For any A ⊆ Σ*, if A is context-free, then so is {xx | x ∊ A}
d)For any A ⊆ Σ*, if A is context-free, then so is {x | xx ∊ A}
We can get a DFA for L = {x | xx ∊ A} as follows: Take DFA for A $(Q, \delta, \Sigma, S, F)$ with everything same except imitially making F = {}. Now for each state $D \in Q$, consider 2 separate DFAs, one with S as the start state and D as the final state and another with D as the start state and final state $\subset F$. If both these DFAs accept same language make D as final state.
This procedure works as the equivalence of 2 DFAs is decidable.

d) $\{a^nb^nc^*a^*b^nc^n|n>0\} $ This is CFL. But if we make L from A as per (d), it'll be L = {a^nb^nc^n|n>0} which is not context free..
