Some Relationships between Classes of Reverse Watson-Crick Finite Automata

چکیده
A Watson-Crick automaton is recently introduced as a computational model of DNA computing framework. It works on tapes consisting of double stranded sequences of symbols. Symbols placed on the corresponding cells of the double-stranded sequences are related by a complimentary relation. In this paper, we investigate a variation of Watson-Crick automata in which both heads read the tape in reverse directions. They are called reverse Watson-Crick finite automata (RWKFA). We show that all of following four classes, i.e., simple, 1-limited, all-final, all-final and simple, are equal to non-restricted version of RWKFA. Keywords—automaton, DNA computing, formal languages, Watson-Crick automaton

Deterministic parallel communicating Watson-Crick automata systems
In this paper, we have introduced the deterministic variant of parallel communicating Watson-Crick automata systems. We show that similar to the non-deterministic version, the deterministic version can also recognise some non-regular uniletter languages. We further establish that strongly deterministic Watson-Crick automata systems and deterministic Watson-Crick automata system are incomparable...
متن کاملParallel Communicating Watson-Crick Automata Systems
Watson-Crick automata are finite state automata working on doublestranded tapes, introduced to investigate the potential of DNA molecules for computing. In this paper we introduce the concept of parallel communicating Watson-Crick automata systems. It consists of several Watson-Crick finite automata parsing independently the same input and exchanging information on request, by communicating sta...
متن کاملRestricted deterministic Watson-Crick automata
In this paper, we introduce a new model of deterministic Watson-Crick automaton namely restricted deterministic WatsonCrick automaton which is a deterministic Watson-Crick automaton where the complementarity string in the lower strand is restricted to a language L. We examine the computational power of the restricted model with respect to L being in different language classes such as regular, u...
متن کاملEquivalence of Subclasses of Two-Way Non-Deterministic Watson Crick Automata
Watson Crick automata are finite automata working on double strands. Extensive research work has already been done on non deterministic Watson Crick automata and on deterministic Watson Crick automata. Parallel Communicating Watson Crick automata systems have been introduced by E. Czeziler et al. In this paper we discuss about a variant of Watson Crick automata known as the two-way Watson Crick...
متن کاملOn the power of parallel communicating Watson-Crick automata systems
Parallel communicating Watson-Crick automata systems were introduced in [2] as possible models of DNA computations. This combination of Watson-Crick automata and parallel communicating systems comes as a natural extension due to the new developments in DNA manipulation techniques. It is already known, see [5], that for Watson-Crick finite automata, the complementarity relation plays no active r...
