Boolean networks (BNs) are discrete-time systems where nodes are inter-connected (here we call such connection rule among nodes as network structure), and the dynamics of each gene node is determined by logical functions. In this paper, we…

Many complex systems in biology, physics, and engineering include a large number of state-variables, and measuring the full state of the system is often impossible. Typically, a set of sensors is used to measure part of the state-variables.…

This paper investigates the stabilization of probabilistic Boolean networks (PBNs) via a novel pinning control strategy based on network structure. In a PBN, the evolution equation of each gene switches among a collection of candidate…

This paper focuses on proposing a general control framework for large-scale Boolean networks (\texttt{BNs}). Only by the network structure, the concept of structural controllability for \texttt{BNs} is formalized. A necessary and sufficient…

In this article, we design the distributed pinning controllers to globally stabilize a Boolean network (BN), specially a sparsely connected large-scale one, towards a preassigned subset of state space through the node-to-node message…

The controllability and observability of Boolean control network(BCN) are two fundamental properties. But the verification of latter is much harder than the former. This paper considers the observability of BCN via controllability. First,…

Using a graph-theoretic approach, we derive a new sufficient condition for observability of a Boolean control network (BCN). Based on this condition, we describe two algorithms: the first selects a set of nodes so that observing this set…

A Boolean network (BN) is called observable if any initial state can be uniquely determined from the output sequence. In the existing literature on observability of BNs, there is almost no research on the relationship between the number of…

This paper studies the minimum observability of probabilistic Boolean networks (PBNs), the main objective of which is to add the fewest measurements to make an unobservable PBN become observable. First of all, the algebraic form of a PBN is…

A new analytical framework consisting of two phenomena: single sample and multiple samples, is proposed to deal with the identification problem of Boolean control networks (BCNs) systematically and comprehensively. Under this framework, the…

We address the problem of retrieving the full state of a network of R\"ossler systems from the knowledge of the actual state of a limited set of nodes. The selection of the nodes where sensors are placed is carried out in a hierarchical way…

The problem on how to determine the observability of Boolean control networks (BCNs) has been open for five years already. In this paper, we propose a unified approach to determine all the four types of observability of BCNs in the…

Observability is the property that enables to distinguish two different locations in $n$-dimensional state space from a reduced number of measured variables, usually just one. In high-dimensional systems it is therefore important to make…

The design of state-feedback controls to block observability at remote nodes is studied for double integrator network (DIN) and higher order integrator network models. A preliminary design algorithm is presented first for DIN that requires…

It is known that determining the observability and reconstructibility of Boolean control networks (BCNs) are both NP-hard in the number of nodes of BCNs. In this paper, we use the aggregation method to overcome the challenging complexity…

Given a Boolean network BN and a subset A of attractors of BN, we study the problem of identifying a minimal subset C of vertices of BN, such that the dynamics of BN can reach from a state s in any attractor As in A to any attractor At in A…

Yang, Wang, and Motter [Phys. Rev. Lett. 109, 258701 (2012)] analyzed a model for network observability transitions in which a sensor placed on a node makes the node and the adjacent nodes observable. The size of the connected components…

We investigate how classifiers for Boolean networks (BNs) can be constructed and modified under constraints. A typical constraint is to observe only states in attractors or even more specifically steady states of BNs. Steady states of BNs…

A large variety of dynamical systems, such as chemical and biomolecular systems, can be seen as networks of nonlinear entities. Prediction, control, and identification of such nonlinear networks require knowledge of the state of the system.…

This paper addresses the problem of selecting the minimum number of dedicated sensors to achieve observability in the presence of unknown inputs, namely, the state and input observability, for linear time-invariant systems. We assume that…
