Short encodings of evolving structures by Daniel D Sleator ( Book )

Abstract: "A derivation in a transformational system such as a graph grammar may be redundant in the sense that the exact order of the transformations may not affect the final outcome; all that matters is that each transformation, when applied, is applied to the correct substructure. By taking advantage of this redundancy, we are able to develop an efficient encoding scheme for such derivations. This encoding scheme has a number of diverse applications. It can be used in efficient enumeration of combinatorial objects or for compact representation of program and data structure transformations. It can also be used to derive lower bounds on lengths of derivations.
