This paper discusses the terminating derivation mode in cooperating distributed grammar systems where components are forbidding grammars instead of context-free grammars. Such systems are called forbidding cooperating distributed grammar systems, and it is demonstrated that the number of their components can be reduced to two without changing the generative power and that these systems are comp...

A left-forbidding grammar, introduced in this paper, is a context-free grammar, where a set of nonterminal symbols is attached to each context-free production. Such a production can rewrite a nonterminal provided that no symbol from the attached set occurs to the left of the rewritten nonterminal in the current sentential form. The present paper discusses cooperating distributed grammar systems...

In this paper we propose a condition for rejecting the input word by an accepting splicing system which is defined by a finite set of forbidding words. More precisely, the input word is accepted as soon as a permitting word is obtained provided that no forbidding word has been obtained so far, otherwise it is rejected. Note that in the new variant of accepting splicing system the input word can...
