Permitting features in P systems generating picture arrays

Abstract

In the area of membrane computing, the biologically inspired model known as system has proved to be a rich framework for studying several types of problems. Picture array generation is one such problem for which different systems have been constructed in the literature. Incorporating the feature of permitting symbols in the rules, array systems are constructed here for generating picture languages consisting of picture arrays. The advantage of this approach is that there is a reduction in the number of membranes used in the construction, in comparison to the existing array system model. © 2013 Springer.
