Communicative P Systems with Minimal Cooperation

  • Conference paper

Part of the book series: Lecture Notes in Computer Science ((LNTCS,volume 3365))

Abstract

We prove that two classes of communicative P systems with 3 membranes and with minimal cooperation, namely P systems with symport/antiport rules of size 1 and and P systems with symport rules of size 2, are computationally complete: they generate all recursively enumerable sets of vectors of nonnegative integers. The result of computation is obtained in the elementary membrane.
