Graph Grammars, Insertion Lie Algebras, and Quantum Field Theory [PDF]
, 2015 Graph grammars extend the theory of formal languages in order to model distributed parallelism in theoretical computer science. We show here that to certain classes of context-free and context-sensitive graph grammars one can associate a Lie algebra ...
