Abstract.

 In this paper, we consider derivation trees in apex NLC graph languages. We show that for every graph H in arbitrary apex NLC graph language, a decomposition tree of H can be constructed from a derivation tree of H. We also show that there exists a hierarchy in the class of apex NLC graph languages when we restrict the number of nonterminals in the right-hand sides of productions in apex NLC graph grammars.
