Formal language theory and biological macromolecules

نویسنده

  • David B. Searls
چکیده

Biological macromolecules can be viewed, at one level, as strings of symbols. Collections of such molecules can thus be considered to be sets of strings, i.e. formal languages. This article reviews language-theoretic approaches to describing intramolecular and intermolecular structural interactions within these molecules, and evolutionary relationships between them.

Deterministic Fuzzy Automaton on Subclasses of Fuzzy Regular ω-Languages

In formal language theory, we are mainly interested in the natural language computational aspects of ω-languages. Therefore in this respect it is convenient to consider fuzzy ω-languages. In this paper, we introduce two subclasses of fuzzy regular ω-languages called fuzzy n-local ω-languages and Buchi fuzzy n-local ω-languages, and give some closure properties for those subclasses. We define a ...

Unity and diversity in human language.

Human language is both highly diverse-different languages have different ways of achieving the same functional goals-and easily learnable. Any language allows its users to express virtually any thought they can conceptualize. These traits render human language unique in the biological world. Understanding the biological basis of language is thus both extremely challenging and fundamentally inte...

Modeling and Evaluation of Stochastic Discrete-Event Systems with RayLang Formalism

In recent years, formal methods have been used as an important tool for performance evaluation and verification of a wide range of systems. In the view points of engineers and practitioners, however, there are still some major difficulties in using formal methods. In this paper, we introduce a new formal modeling language to fill the gaps between object-oriented programming languages (OOPLs) us...
