Subclasses of Tree Adjoining Grammar for RNA Secondary Structure

Several grammars have been proposed for representing RNA secondary structure including pseudoknots. In this paper, we introduce subclasses of multiple context-free grammars which are weakly equivalent to these grammars for RNA, and clarify the generative power of these grammars as well as closure property.
