Use the complete finite nondeterministic PDA: states=[push8, pop8, accept8], input_alphabet=[a8, b8], stack_alphabet=[Z8, A8], start_state=push8, bottom_symbol=Z8, final_states=[accept8], transitions=[[push8, a8, Z8, push8, [Z8, A8]], [push8, a8, A8, push8, [A8, A8]], [push8, b8, A8, pop8, []], [pop8, b8, A8, pop8, []], [push8, null, Z8, accept8, [Z8]], [pop8, null, Z8, accept8, [Z8]]]. Alphabets are unique and pairwise disjoint. Each transition is [from,input symbol or null,required top,to,replacement bottom-to-top]. null is epsilon and consumes no input. Configurations are [state,input position,stack] with bottom first and top last. Preserve the bottom marker and accept only after consuming the entire input in a final state, not by empty stack. Input=[a8, b8], max_steps=1. Give (input, max_steps, found_accepting_run, rejection_or_nonmembership_claim, boundary).
