Temporal networks have been increasingly used to model a diversity of systems that evolve in time; for example human contact structures over which dynamic processes such as epidemics take place. A fundamental aspect of real-life networks is…

We study the problem of computing a minimal subset of nodes of a given asynchronous Boolean network that need to be controlled to drive its dynamics from an initial steady state (or attractor) to a target steady state. Due to the phenomenon…
We present a new approach of topology biased random walks for undirected networks. We focus on a one parameter family of biases and by using a formal analogy with perturbation theory in quantum mechanics we investigate the features of…
We study the class of cooperative Boolean networks whose only regulatory functions are COPY, binary AND, and binary OR. We prove that for all sufficiently large N and c < 2 there exist Boolean networks in this class that have an attractor…
We study the influence of network topology and connectivity on the synchronization properties of chaotic logistic maps, interacting with random delay times. Four different types of topologies are investigated: two regular (a ring-type and a…
We determine stability and attractor properties of random Boolean genetic network models with canalyzing rules for a variety of architectures. For all power law, exponential, and flat in-degree distributions, we find that the networks are…

Random walks are ubiquitous in the sciences, and they are interesting from both theoretical and practical perspectives. They are one of the most fundamental types of stochastic processes; can be used to model numerous phenomena, including…
Boolean networks have been the object of much attention, especially since S. Kauffman proposed them in the 1960's as models for gene regulatory networks. These systems are characterized by being defined on a Boolean state space and by…
When is it safe to approximate a complicated random Boolean network (RBN) as a simplified, easier to model RBN? When can static measures of network structure be reliably used to infer the network's dynamics? This simple experiment tests the…
Paths are important structural elements in complex networks because they are finite (unlike walks), related to effective node coverage (minimum spanning trees), and can be understood as being dual to star connectivity. This article…
Input-output maps are prevalent throughout science and technology. They are empirically observed to be biased towards simple outputs, but we don't understand why. To address this puzzle, we study the archetypal input-output map: a…
It is a common belief that the order of a Boolean network is mainly determined by its attractors, including fixed points and cycles. Using semi-tensor product (STP) of matrices and the algebraic state-space representation (ASSR) of Boolean…
