We show that to correctly describe the position of the critical line in the Kauffman random boolean networks one must take into account percolation phenomena underlying the process of damage spreading. For this reason, since the issue of…
Boolean networks are used to model biological networks such as gene regulatory networks. Often Boolean networks show very chaotic behaviour which is sensitive to any small perturbations. In order to reduce the chaotic behaviour and to…
We investigated the properties of Boolean networks that follow a given reliable trajectory in state space. A reliable trajectory is defined as a sequence of states which is independent of the order in which the nodes are updated. We…
Boolean networks are special types of finite state time-discrete dynamical systems. A Boolean network can be described by a function from an n-dimensional vector space over the field of two elements to itself. A fundamental problem in…
Random Boolean networks have been used widely to explore aspects of gene regulatory networks. A modified form of the model through which to systematically explore the effects of increasing the number of gene states has previously been…
We present a characterization of short-term stability of random Boolean networks under \emph{arbitrary} distributions of transfer functions. Given any distribution of transfer functions for a random Boolean network, we present a formula…
A random boolean cellular automaton is a network of boolean gates where the inputs, the boolean function, and the initial state of each gate are chosen randomly. In this article, each gate has two inputs. Let $a$ (respectively $c$) be the…
This paper introduces the Quantified Boolean Bayesian Network (QBBN), which provides a unified view of logical and probabilistic reasoning. The QBBN is meant to address a central problem with the Large Language Model (LLM), which has become…
Random Boolean networks are models of disordered causal systems that can occur in cells and the biosphere. These are open thermodynamic systems exhibiting a flow of energy that is dissipated at a finite rate. Life does work to acquire more…
Boolean networks are a valuable class of discrete dynamical systems models, but they remain fundamentally limited by their inability to capture multi-way interactions in their components. To remedy this limitation, we propose a model of…
In this work, several random Boolean networks (RBN) are generated and analyzed from two characteristics: their time evolution diagram and their transition diagram. For this purpose, its randomness is estimated using three measures, of which…
Boolean networks have been used in a variety of settings, as models for general complex systems as well as models of specific systems in diverse fields, such as biology, engineering, and computer science. Traditionally, their properties as…
The relationship between the properties of a dynamical system and the structure of its defining equations has long been studied in many contexts. Here we study this problem for the class of conjunctive (resp. disjunctive) Boolean networks,…
Genetic regulatory networks control ontogeny. For fifty years Boolean networks have served as models of such systems, ranging from ensembles of random Boolean networks as models for generic properties of gene regulation to working dynamical…
In this paper, we propose a mean-field model which attempts to bridge the gap between random Boolean networks and more realistic stochastic modeling of genetic regulatory networks. The main idea of the model is to replace all regulatory…
We realize autonomous Boolean networks by using logic gates in their autonomous mode-of-operation on a field-programmable gate array. This allows us to implement time-continuous systems with complex dynamical behaviors that can be…
Consider a large Boolean network with a feed forward structure. Given a probability distribution on the inputs, can one find, possibly small, collections of input nodes that determine the states of most other nodes in the network? To answer…
Automata networks, and in particular Boolean networks, are used to model diverse networks of interacting entities. The interaction graph of an automata network is its most important parameter, as it represents the overall architecture of…
Canalizing functions have important applications in physics and biology. For example, they represent a mechanism capable of stabilizing chaotic behavior in Boolean network models of discrete dynamical systems. When comparing the class of…
