Abstract
P colonies are one of the variants of computational devices based on independent membrane agents, which are evolved and acting in a shared environment. P colonies belong to the family of models of membrane computing called P systems. We show that P colonies with capacity three and two agents using homogeneous programs without checking rules are computationally complete as well as eco-P colonies with two agents and a passive environment and PCol automata working in init mode.
