The Growth of Branching Structures with P Systems

Abstract

L-systems have been widely used to model and graphically represent the growth of plants. In, the use of membrane computing for such tasks has been proposed. In this paper we present a di®erent approach, which makes use of the topology of membrane structures to model the morphology of branching structures. We also keep closer to reality by simulating their growth from buds, instead of rewriting existing structures, as L-systems do.
