The goal of this paper is twofold. Firstly, to survey in a systematic and uniform way the main results regarding the size descriptional complexity measures of hybrid networks of evolutionary processors as generating devices. Secondly, we improve some results about a size measure, prove that it is connected, and discuss the possibility of computing this measure for regular and context-free languages. We also briefly present a few NP-complete problems and recall how they can be solved in linear time by accepting networks of evolutionary processors with linearly bounded resources (nodes, rules, symbols). Finally, the size complexity of accepting hybrid networks of evolutionary processors recognizing all NP languages in polynomial time is briefly discussed.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
