In this paper we consider insertion-deletion P systems with priority of deletion over the insertion. We show that such systems with one symbol context-free insertion and deletion rules are able to generate P sRE. If one-symbol one-sided context is added to insertion or deletion rules but no priority is considered, then all recursively enumerable languages can be generated. The same result holds if a deletion of two symbols is permitted. We also show that the priority relation is very important and in its absence the corresponding class of P systems is strictly included in M AT .
Recent investigations show insertion-deletion systems of small size that are not complete and cannot generate all recursively enumerable languages. However, if additional computational distribution mechanisms like P systems are added, then the computational completeness is achieved in some cases. In this article we take two insertion-deletion systems that are not computationally complete, consider them in the framework of P systems and show that the computational power is strictly increased by proving that any recursively enumerable language can be generated. At the end some open problems are presented
