We construct and investigate Boolean networks that follow a given reliable trajectory in state space, which is insensitive to fluctuations in the updating schedule, and which is also robust against noise. Robustness is quantified as the…

In previous works, we introduced the notion of dominant vertices in the context of dynamical systems on networks. This is a set of nodes in the underlying network whose evolution determines the whole network's dynamics after a transient…

The deterministic dynamics of randomly connected neural networks are studied, where a state of binary neurons evolves according to a discreet-time synchronous update rule. We give a theoretical support that the overlap of systems' states…

Previous work in Boolean dynamical networks has suggested that the number of components that must be controlled to select an existing attractor is typically set by the number of attractors admitted by the dynamics, with no dependence on the…

We investigate the effect of noise on Random Boolean Networks. Noise is implemented as a probability $p$ that a node does not obey its deterministic update rule. We define two order parameters, the long-time average of the Hamming distance…
