Abstract

A class of P systems, called EP systems, with string objects processed by evolution rules distributed alongside the transitions of an Eilenberg machine, is introduced. A parallel variant of EP systems, called EPP systems, is also defined and the power of both EP and EPP systems is investigated in relationshipwith three parameters: number of membranes, states and set of distributed rules. It is shown that EPP systems represent a promising framework for solving NP-complete problems. In particular linear time solutions are provided for the SAT problem.
