Abstract

In this paper a variant of P systems with external output designed to compute functions on natural numbers is presented. These P systems are stable under composition and iteration of functions. We prove that every diophan tine set can be generated by such P systems; then, the universality of this model can be deduced from the theorem by Matiyasevich, Robinson, Davis and Putnam in which they establish that every recursively enumerable set is a diophantine set.
