Abstract

The paper starts with a discussion of an application of graph grammars as means for determining polynomial-time recognizability of graph properties. Then boundary NLC graph grammars are reviewed with emphasis on the application outlined in the first part. Finally, partition controlled graph grammars are introduced as an extension of boundary NLC graph grammars which still preserves many of the properties of boundary NLC graph grammars and, moreover, allows a simple characterization result.
