Transition Diagram:
- This is a graph in which vertices represent state of machine and the edges show transition of states.
- The labels on these edges indicate input/output for the corresponding transition.
A transition diagram for a DFA M = (Q, Σ, δ, q0, F) is a graph defined as follows:
- For each state in Q there is a node.
- There is labelled input symbol on transition.
- Then the transition diagram has an arc (arrow) from one node to another node.
- If multiple input symbols cause the same transition from one node to another node, then multiple input labels separated by the commas are given to that edge.
- There is an arrow into the start state q0 labeled as start. This arrow does not originate at any node.
- Final states/ accepting states are marked by concentric double circles.
- States not belonging to final states have a single circle. e.g.
Transition Table:
- It specifies the resultant set of states for the corresponding current state and input to the machine.
- A transition table is a conventional tabular representation of a function like δ that takes two arguments and returns a value the rows of the table correspond to the states and the columns correspond to the inputs.
- The entry for the row corresponding to state q and the column corresponding to input q is the state δ(q, a).
