→ NFA-l or e-NFA is an extension of Non deterministic Finite Automata which are usually called NFA with epsilon moves or lambda transitions.

We extend the class of NFAs by allowing instantaneous (ε) transitions:
1. The automaton may be allowed to change its state without reading the input symbol.

2. In diagrams, such transitions are depicted by labeling the appropriate arcs with ε.
3. Note that this does not mean that ε has become an input symbol. On the contrary, we assume that the symbol ε does not belong to any alphabet.
