Abstract

In the present paper we propose a way to simulate Boolean gates and circuits in the framework of P systems with active membranes using inhibiting/de-inhibiting rules. This new approach on the simulation of Boolean gates has the advantage of a self-embedded synchronization, an extra system to solve this problem not being needed. Moreover, the number of membranes and objects we use for the simulation of Boolean gates is only two. NP-complete problems, particularly CIRCUIT-SAT, are also considered here. In addition, we simulate a ‘DNA-like’ way of (experimentally) solving SAT problem using the tools given by polarization, merging, and separation in P systems.
