Using Closure Properties to Show Nonregularity

Explore how closure properties of regular languages help identify nonregular languages by analyzing complements, intersections, and differences. Understand techniques to prove a language is not regular through examples including NOTPRIME, EQUAL, and other complex languages.

Proving languages are not regular using closure properties

Using our knowledge of a few nonregular languages, we can conclude that other languages are nonregular merely by using the closure properties of regular languages. For example, the language NOTPRIME ({an}\{a^n\} ...
