Abstract

This paper aims to answer the following question: given a P system configuration M , how do we find each configuration N such that N evolves to M in one step? While easy to state, the problem has not a simple answer. To provide a solution to this problem for a general class of P systems with simple communication rules and without dissolution, we introduce the dual P systems. Essentially these systems reverse the rules of the initial P system and find N by applying reversely valid multisets of rules. We prove that in this way we find exactly those configurations N which evolve to M in one step.
