Abstract

Many structures used in computer science and software can be represented by context-free languages. This paper discusses computable functions on such languages, which give a useful model for studies of computability and algorithms involving complex data structures. This paper further tackles some practical issues for using the functions. Some practical schemes of the functions are presented. A subclass of functions is provided, which can be implemented efficiently.
