Popis: Tissue P systems are a class of distributed and parallel computing models investigated in membrane computing, which are inspired from the structure and functioning of communication cells in tissues . Such systems with cell division (corresponding to the mitosis behavior of living cells) can theoretically generate exponential wor king space in linear time, therefore providing a possible way to solve computational hard problems in feasible time by a space-time trade-off. In this work, we construct a family of tissue P systems with cell division to solve the vertex cover problems, and achieve a linear tim e solution (with respect to the size of the problems). Furthermore, we prove that the systems are constructed in a uniform manner and work in a confluent way.
