Abstract

A new model of computation called VH-system is introduced. It is a formalization of domino tilings. We show how the semantics of nondeterminism on VH-systems, being a natural counterpart of the machinery of tilings, can be modified to cover both deterministic and alternating computations. As a by-product we present a new proof of the fact that the satisfiability problem of boolean Horn formulas is complete in PTIME.
