Dynamic threshold neural P systems

Description

Pulse coupled neural networks (PCNN, for short) are models abstracting the synchronization behavior observed experimentally for the cortical neurons in the visual cortex of a cat's brain, and the intersecting cortical model is a simplified version of the PCNN model. Membrane computing (MC) is a kind computation paradigm abstracted from the structure and functioning of biological cells that provide models working in cell-like mode, neural-like mode and tissue-like mode. Inspired from intersecting cortical model, this paper proposes a new kind of neural-like P systems, called dynamic threshold neural P systems (for short, DTNP systems). DTNP systems can be represented as a directed graph, where nodes are dynamic threshold neurons while arcs denote synaptic connections of these neurons. DTNP systems provide a kind of parallel computing models, they have two data units (feeding input unit and dynamic threshold unit) and the neuron firing mechanism is implemented by using a dynamic threshold mechanism. The Turing universality of DTNP systems as number accepting/generating devices is established. In addition, an universal DTNP system having 109 neurons for computing functions is constructed.
