Abstract
We introduce a weak uniformity condition for families of P systems, DLOGTIME uniformity, inspired by Boolean circuit complexity. We then prove that DLOGTIME-uniform families of P systems with active membranes working in logarithmic space (not counting their input) can simulate logarithmic-space deterministic Turing machines.
