Abstract

Apex graph grammars are NLC-like graph grammars with the restriction that embedding edges are established between terminal nodes only. Some basic theoretical properties of these grammars are investigated.

Key words

neighbourhood controlled embedding regular tree grammars graph replacements nonterminal bounded nonterminal separation
