Re: Is this language context free?

This is a problem I have been working on for a while:

Consider the following language L over the alphabet {a, b, c}. L = {xyz
| x = y^R, z is a string with only c's, and lx|¡Ù lzl }. Here y^R
denotes the string obtained by reversing y.

Is L context free?

You seem to have some corruption in your notation there. What does
"lx|¡Ù lzl" mean? Can you explain it in words?

Without that unknown condition, this language is trivially context-free.
