Original question and givens
Use the complete finite epsilon-NFA: states=[s5, m5, f5, d5], alphabet=[a5, b5], start=s5, final_states=[f5], transitions=[[s5, null, m5], [s5, null, d5], [m5, a5, m5], [m5, b5, f5]]. Transitions are [from,input symbol or null,to]; null is epsilon and consumes no input. States are nonempty because the start belongs to them, but alphabet/final sets and the transition relation may be empty. The relation may be multivalued, not deterministic or total. A configuration is [state,input position]; acceptance requires one finite path consuming the entire input and ending final. Input=[a5, b5], supplied path=[[s5, 0], [m5, 0], [m5, 1], [f5, 2]]. Give (input, path, transition_indices, valid_path, accepted, certificate).
