Membrane computing

Viac o knihe

The book features a comprehensive exploration of various topics in membrane computing, including invited lectures and recent advancements. It discusses the computational power of symport/antiport mechanisms, the structural operational semantics of P systems, and presents results on deterministic P systems. Key subjects include membrane algorithms, evolutionary lineages of membrane systems, and regular presentations. The text delves into the dynamics of protons, bi-stable catalysts, and the concept of time-freeness in P systems, as well as the complexities of symbol/membrane interactions under symport/antiport rules. Additionally, it examines P systems as modeling tools for biological systems and the encoding-decoding of transitional systems. The computational capabilities of the Mate/Bud/Drip brane calculus and its implications for interleaving versus maximal parallelism are analyzed. The mapping of membrane computing systems onto asynchronous, distributed environments is also addressed, alongside discussions on memory in P systems and their algebraic and coalgebraic aspects. The book further investigates the modeling of biochemical oscillations, the relationship between P systems, Petri nets, and program machines, and the significance of dissolution in active membrane systems. It presents a linear solution for QSAT with membrane creation, explores symport/antiport P systems, and discusses boolean circuits in the context of
