Abstract

Generally, in P systems with string-objects one uses the Chomsky way of rewriting for processing the objects. In this paper we consider the contextual way of handling string-objects in P systems. We introduce some variants of contextual grammars and prove that contextual P systems with rules corresponding to these variants are more powerful than ordinary contextual grammars and their variants. We also show that one-sided contextual P systems with right-sided erased contexts and insertion contextual P systems with right-sided erased contexts are computationally complete.
