Abstract

We prove that a uniform family of P systems with active membranes, where division rules only operate on elementary membranes and dissolution rules are avoided, can be used to solve the following PP-complete decision problem in polynomial time: given a Boolean formula of m variables in 3CNF, do at least √2m among the 2 m possible truth assignments satisfy it? As a consequence, the inclusion PP ⊆ PMCAM(-d,-n) holds: this provides an improved lower bound on the class of languages decidable by this kind of P systems. © 2010 Springer-Verlag.
