 Context-free grammar - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
To prove that a given language is not context-free, one may employ the pumping lemma for context-free languages.
A formal language is context-free if there is a context-free grammar that generates it.
An alternative and equivalent definition of context-free languages employs non-deterministic push-down automata: a language is context-free if and only if it can be accepted by such an automaton.

 PlanetMath: context-free language
This is version 5 of context-free language, born on 2002-02-23, modified 2002-12-05.
A context-free grammar is a grammar that generates a context-free language.
The automaton serves both as an acceptor for the language (that is, it can decide whether or not any arbitrary sentence is in the language) and as a generator for the language (that is, it can generate any finite sentence in the language in finite time).

 Formal Language Definitions
The language class P is the set of languages for which there exists a deterministic Turing machine that accepts each language in a number of transitions bounded by a fixed polynomial in the length of the input string.
L(G) is the notation for a language defined by a grammar G. The grammar G recognizes a certain set of strings, thus defines a language.
L(M) is the notation for a language defined by a machine M. The machine M accepts a certain set of strings, thus defines a language.

To prove a language is not context free requires a specific definition of the language and the use of the Pumping Lemma for Context Free Languages.

The Pumping Lemma is generally used to prove a language is not context free.

 Context Free and Context Sensitive Languages
Most agree that language is a static system, where words are part of a lexicon that is assumed to be context free and static — that is, it is a data structure that exists independently of it’s use.

 Ghostweather Shortform: Context Free Art
It's downright ingenious; I've been around context free grammars and text generation since my baby linguist days, but never seen them applied to making visuals.
The language itself is a little bit like LOGO, which may or may not work for you (I want to read it like Prolog, alas).
The app has a surprisingly elegant UI for grad student freeware, which makes it easy to play with the rules for generating the art and see immediate results from tinkering.

In the set theoretic language of automata the stack or counter is a discrete set distinct from the set of control states.
For the simple CFL input a^n b^n, when the network has "a" input, it will not be able to accurately predict the next symbol because the next symbol can be another "a" or the first "b" in the sequence.
The input stimuli is a very simple CFL that uses only two symbols, {a, b}, and consists of strings of the form a^n b^n, in which "n" is an integer greater than 0.

Informally, a CFG is a set of rules for deriving (or generating) strings (or sentences) in a language.
Note: Given a CFL L, there may be more than one CFG G with L = L(G).
Equivalently, G is said to be ambiguous if there exists an x in L(G) with >1 parse trees, or >1 rightmost derivations.

Example: {anbncn} Showing that a Language is Context-Free Techniques for showing that a language L is context-free: Exhibit a context-free grammar for L. Exhibit a PDA for L. Use the closure properties of context-free languages.
The Intersection of a Context-Free Language and a Regular Language is Context-Free L = L(M1), a PDA = (K1, (, (1, (1, s1, F1) R = L(M2), a deterministic FSA = (K2, (, (, s2, F2) We construct a new PDA, M3, that accepts L (R by simulating the parallel execution of M1 and M2.
The Deterministic Context-Free Languages Are Closed Under Complement Proof: Let L be a language such that L$ is accepted by the deterministic PDA M. We construct a deterministic PDA M' to accept (the complement of L)$, just as we did for FSMs: Initially, let M' = M. M' is already deterministic.

For type-2 languages, a theorem of Greibach states the existence of a universal such, i.e., a context-free language L_{gr} such that every other context-free language is a homomorphic pre-image of L_{gr}.
([HK] has a construction of L_{gr} over a 7-element alphabet, but then one can of course find another such universal context-free language over a 2-element alphabet.) References: [G] Sheila A. Greibach: The hardest context-free language.
Standard results of formal language theory tell us that for i\in\{0,2,3\} the restriction of U to lang_i still is a bi-fibration, while the restriction of U to lang_1 still is a fibration, but not a cofibration, since homomorphic images of type-1 languages need not be of type 1.

Context-free valence languages (over Z^k) are shown to be codings of the intersection of a context-free language and a blind k-counter language.
This AFL-style characterization allows one to infer some of the properties of the family of valence languages, in particular the lambda-free normal form proved by Fernau and Stiebe.
The proof is based on a bridge theorem which can also be used to prove that the composition of attribute grammars and of macro tree transducers yield proper hierarchies.
