Abstract
P systems have been recently introduced by Gh. PĂun as a newmo del for molecular computations based on the notion of membrane structure. In this work, we consider Rewriting P Systems which use electrical charges to move objects between the membranes. We show that electrical charges, a feature introduced in order to obtain more “realistic” systems, induces simple systems: we define two normal forms for two variants of Rewriting P Systems which make use of electrical charges.
This work has been supported by the Italian Ministry of University (MURST), under project “Unconventional Computational Models: Syntactic and Combinatorial Methods”.
