Solving minimum vertex cover problems with microfluidic DNA computer

Based on its massive parallel computational power and high density storage capacity, DNA computing has been applied to various computational problems. In order to improve its reliability, reduce time and simplified operations, microfluidic chips support an effective way to realize an automatable and universal DNA computer. In this paper we introduce microfluidic logic operators, simple fluidic switches and memory. Furthermore, the use of electronic fluidic control components in microfluidic systems will be demonstrated in such way as to perform dynamic operations and programming. Finally a proposal for an actual fluidic computer will be made which solves the minimum vertex cover problems.
