Ive had a lot of problems with the pumping lemma, so i was wondering if i might be able to get a comment on what i believe is a valid proof to this problem. However, this report treats them as cfl products because they are compact in overall size and can be used as alternatives to incandescent lamps.

Pumping lemma for contextfree languages cfl pumping lemma for cfl states that for any context free language l, it is possible to find two substrings that can be pumped any number of times and still be in the same language. For any contextfree language, there is a number such that if and then can be written as a concatination of strings such that. In computer science, in particular in formal language theory, the pumping lemma for contextfree languages, also known as the barhillel clarification needed lemma, is a lemma that gives a property shared by all contextfree languages and generalizes the pumping lemma for regular languages.

For all sufficiently long strings z in a context free language l, it is possible to find two substrings, not too far apart. It told us that if there was a string long enough to cause a cycle in the dfa for the language, then we could pump the cycle and discover an infinite. Note that the choice of a particular string s is critical to the proof. It told us that if there was a string long enough to cause a cycle in the dfa for the language, then we could pump the cycle and discover an infinite sequence of strings that had to be in the language.
