Let N = (Q,\Sigma ,\delta ,q_{0}, F ) be any NFA. Construct an NFA N^{\prime } with a single accept state that recognizes the same language as N. Informally, N^{\prime } is exactly like N except it has ε-transitions from the states corresponding to the accept states of N, to a new accept state, q_{accept}. State q_{accept} has no emerging transitions. More formally, N^{\prime } = (Q\cup \left\{q_{accept} \right\}, \Sigma ,\delta ^{\prime }, q_{0},\left\{q_{accept} \right\} ), where for each q ∈ Q and a ∈ \Sigma _{\epsilon }
\delta ^{\prime } (q,a)=\begin{cases} \delta (q,a) & \ if a\neq \epsilon or q\notin F \\ \delta (q,a)\cup \left\{q_{accept} \right\} & if a= \epsilon and q\in F \end{cases}and \delta ^{\prime } (q_{accept} ,a)= \phi for each a\in \Sigma _{\epsilon }
