Abstract

We continue the line of research of deterministic parallel non-cooperative multiset rewriting with control. We here generalize control, i.e., rule applicability context conditions, from promoters and inhibitors, which are checking presence or absence of certain objects up to some bound, to regular and even stronger predicates, focusing on predicates over the multiplicity of one symbol at a time.

Notes

  1. 1.

    The meaning of a promoter-set in [7] is different, but the results on the computational power are equivalent up to the descriptional complexity parameters such as number of promoters/inhibitors and their weights.
