The essential guide to grammars with context conditions

This advanced computer science book systematically and compactly
summarizes the current knowledge about grammars with context
conditions-an important area of formal language theory. According
to the types of context conditions, this self-contained reference
classifies them into grammars with context conditions placed on the
domains of grammatical derivations, the use of grammatical
productions, and the neighborhood of the rewritten symbols. The
focus is on grammatical generative power, important properties,
simplification, reduction, implementation, and applications, most
of which are related to microbiology.

The text features:

* Up-to-date coverage of grammatical concepts based on context
conditions

* Self-contained explanations without assumption of any previous
knowledge

* Clear definitions and exact proofs preceded by intuitive
explanations

* Numerous easy-to-implement grammatical transformations

* Realistic applications

* Relation to mathematics, linguistics, and biology

* Additional material and information about the book available on
accompanying Web site (see preface for details)

Practitioners and advanced students in theoretical computer science
and related areas- including mathematics, linguistics, and
molecular biology-will find Grammars with Context Conditions and
Their Applications an essential reference for this cutting-edge
area of formal language theory.

Autor

ALEXANDER MEDUNA, Associate Professor of Computer Science at the Brno University of Technology, received his PhD from Brno University in 1988. He has taught theoretical computer science at various European and American universities, including the University of Missouri, where he spent a decade teaching advanced topics of formal language theory. He is the author of Automata and Languages and over sixty papers related to the subject of this book. MARTIN SVEC received his PhD from the Brno University of Technology in 2005, where Alexander Meduna was his PhD advisor. In cooperation with his advisor, he has published several papers on grammars with context conditions.
