Deterministic CaseA deterministic <strong>pushdown</strong> acceptor (d<strong>pda</strong>) never has achoice for its move. We require for d<strong>pda</strong> thatδ(q,a,b) contains at most one element.If δ(q,λ,b) is non-empty, then δ(q,c,b) is empty forall c ∈ Σ,Note that for d<strong>pda</strong> we allow λ-transition or no move,unlike the case of dfa.d<strong>pda</strong> and n<strong>pda</strong> are not equal in their descriptivepowers. There are languages that can be accepted byn<strong>pda</strong> but not by any d<strong>pda</strong>. This is also different fromthe case of dfa and nfa.Pushdown Automata – p. 18
