Abstract

It is known that symport/antiport P systems with two membranes and minimal cooperation can generate any recursively enumerable sets of natural numbers using exactly one superfluous object in the output membrane, where the output membrane is an elementary membrane. In this paper we consider symport/antiport P systems where the output membrane is the skin membrane. In this case we prove an unexpected characterization: symport/antiport P systems (and purely symport P systems) with two membranes and minimal cooperation generate exactly the recursively enumerable sets of natural numbers.
