In this paper, splicing on images of rectangular arrays is introduced as a simple and effective extension of the operation of splicing on strings extensively studied in the context of DNA computing. A comparison of the resulting class of splicing array languages with the local two-dimensional array languages and two-dimensional right linear languages is made. Certain closure properties are obtained. Furthermore, the notion of self cross-over of strings is extended to arrays with respect to the splicing of arrays introduced here.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
