Abstract

Multi-Membranes are introduced for defining a computation model inspired to Metabolic P systems. It is a deterministic, distributed, and computationally universal model, where computations are performed by transferring objects among membranes with fluxes specified by membrane contents. Arithmetical functions can be naturally described and, remarkably, the algorithms can be described by means of pure geometrical forms without any textual information.
