Abstract

We propose a new extension of splicing systems, called multiple splicing systems, based on a kind of logic grammars. First, we introduce a class of Elementary formal systems, called simple H-form EFS, and show that its generative power is equivalent to the class of basic splicing systems (the original Head's splicing system) and is more adequate as a representation device for formal languages. Next, we gradually extend the simple class of EFSs and get a very natural extension of splicing systems, multiple splicing systems. We show that multiple splicing systems have universal computability.
