Abstract
Many NP-complete problems can be viewed as special cases of the Common Algorithmic Problem (CAP). In a precise sense, which will be defined in the paper, one may say that CAP has a property of local universality. In this paper we present an effective solution to the decision version of the CAP using a family of recognizer P systems with active membranes. The analysis of the solution presented here will be done from the point of view of complexity classes in P systems.
