It is also a dream and a concern of computability to speed-up computing devices; we propose here a name for the case when this leads to polynomial solutions to problems known to be (at least) NP-complete: fypercomputing-with the initial F coming from fast. In short: fypercomputing means going polynomially beyond NP. The aim of these notes is to briefly discuss the existing ideas in membrane computing which lead to fypercomputations and to imagine new ones, some of them at the level of speculations, subject for further investigation. </style></abstract></record></records></xml>
