Ceterchi, Rodica; Gramatovici, Radu; Jonoska, Nataša; Subramanian, K. G. Tissue-like P systems with active membranes for picture generation. (English) Zbl 1102.68033 Fundam. Inform. 56, No. 4, 311-328 (2003). Summary: We propose a variant of tissue-like P systems with symport rules and active membranes that generates two-dimensional picture languages. The method is unconventional in that, instead of using the membranes as regions for computation/writing, it uses them to hold elements of pictures. Thus, the picture itself, and actually the whole supporting rectangular grid, is composed of membranes, each one containing (among other symbols) a letter of the picture’s alphabet. The method is illustrated by its application to the generation of local and recognizable picture languages.
