Abstract

Inspired by the growth of dendritic trees in biological neurons, we introduce spiking neural P systems with budding rules. By applying these rules in a maximally parallel way, a spiking neural P system can exponentially increase the size of its synapse graph in a polynomial number of computation steps. Such a possibility can be exploited to efficiently solve computationally difficult problems in deterministic polynomial time, as it is shown in this paper for the NP-complete decision problem sat.
