Abstract

At the beginning of 2005, Gheorghe Păun formulated a conjecture stating that in the framework of recognizer P systems with active membranes (evolution rules, communication rules, dissolution rules and division rules for elementary membranes), polarizations cannot be avoided in order to solve computationally hard problems efficiently (assuming that P ≠ NP ). At the middle of 2005, a partial positive answer was given, proving that the conjecture holds if dissolution rules are forbidden. In this paper we give a detailed and complete proof of this result modifying slightly the notion of dependency graph associated with recognizer P systems.
