Time-Varying Distributed H Systems with Parallel Computations: the Problem is Solved

TL;DR: It is shown that time-varying distributed H systems (TVDH systems) with one component are able to model any type-0 grammar and completely answered the question of constructing TVDH systems of smallest degree which generate any RE language using the parallel nature of molecular computations based on splicing operations.

Time-Varying Distributed H Systems of Degree 2 Can Carry Out Parallel Computations

TL;DR: This paper improves the last result by reducing the number of components of such TVDH systems of degree four by modelling type-0 formal grammars.

On small, reduced, and fast universal accepting networks of splicing processors

TL;DR: It is shown that accepting networks of splicing processors (ANSPs) of size 2 are computationally complete, and it is proved that ANSPs of size three can decide all languages in NP in polynomial time.

Communicating Distributed H Systems with Alternating Filters

TL;DR: It suffices to use tuples of two filters in order to generate any recursively enumerable language, with two tubes only, and it is shown that it is possible to obtain the same result having no rules in the second tube which acts as a garbage collector.

Small universal Turing machines

TL;DR: Universal Turing machines are proved to exist in the following classes: UTM (24,2), UTM(10,3), U TM(7,4), UTR(5,5), USM(4,6), UTSM (3,10) and U TM (2,18).

DNA computing based on splicing: universality results.

TL;DR: In this article, it was shown that a Turing machine computing a partial recursive function can be simulated by an equivalent H system computing the same function; in that way, from a universal Turning machine we obtain a universal H system.

DNA Computing: Distributed Splicing Systems

TL;DR: First, a result is improved about the so-called communicating distributed H systems (systems with seven components are able to characterize the recursively enumerable languages), then two new types of distributed H system are introduced: the separated two-level H systems and the periodically time-varying H systems, and it is proved that in all these cases one can design universal “DNA computers based on splicing”.
