Original question and givens
Use the complete finite epsilon-NFA: states=[s8, m8, f8, d8], alphabet=[a8, b8], start=s8, final_states=[f8], transitions=[[s8, null, m8], [s8, null, d8], [m8, a8, m8], [m8, b8, f8]]. 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=[b8], supplied path=[[s8, 0], [m8, 0], [f8, 1]]. Give (input, path, transition_indices, valid_path, accepted, certificate).
