Abstract

While studying the recombinant behaviour of DNA molecules, Head (1987) introduced a new operation, called splicing on words or strings, which are finite sequences of symbols. There has been intensive research using the concept of splicing on strings in the context of DNA computing, establishing important theoretical results on computational universality. A particular class of splicing, known as flat splicing on strings was recently considered and this operation was extended to provide picture array generating two-dimensional models. Making use of the operation of flat splicing on arrays, we propose here a grammar system, called flat splicing regular array grammar system (FSRAGS), as a new model of picture generation. The components of a FSRAGS generate picture arrays working in parallel using the rules of a two-phase grammar called 2RLG and with two different components of the FSRAGS communicating using the array flat splicing operations on columns and rows of the arrays. We establish some comparison results bringing out the generative power of FSRAGS and also exhibit the power of FSRAGS in generating certain “floor designs”.
