Abstract

We introduce some classes of splicing languages generated with simple and semi-simple splicing rules, in both, the linear and circular cases. We investigate some of their properties.

This work was possible thanks to the grants SAB2000-0145, and SAB2001-0007, from the Secretaría de Estado de Educación y Universidades, Spanish Ministry for Education, Culture and Sport.
