Fraction Reduction in Membrane Systems

Figure 4

The procedure of reducing 6/10 in the designed P system.

(a) Initial configuration

(b) Moves new denominator and numerator to membrane 𝑀₂

(c) Moves new denominator and numerator to membrane 𝑀₃

(d) Division is performed in membrane 𝑀₃

(e) Rule 𝑟₁₅ is applied in membrane 𝑀₃

(f) Membrane 𝑀₃ is dissolved

(g) Rules are applied in membranes 𝑀₂ and 𝑀₁

(h) Rules are applied in membranes 1, 𝑀₁, and 𝑀₂

(i) Membrane 𝑀₂ is dissolved

(j) System halts and the final result can be obtained
