Starting from Shannon theory of information, we present the case of producing information in the form of multisets, and encoding information using multisets. We compute the entropy of a multiset information source by constructing an equientropic string source (with interdependent symbols), and we compare this with a string information source...

In this paper we present an open-source web-enabled simulator for P sys- tems. We use CLIPS embedded in C, and make the simulator available as a web application, complemented by a query language to specify the results.

Following, we present in this paper various number encodings and operations over multisets. We obtain the most compact encoding and several other interesting encodings and study their properties using elements of combinatorics over multisets. We also construct P systems that implement their associated operations. We quantify the effect of...
