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 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.
