Online Observability of Boolean Control Networks

Systems and Control 2020-12-08 v3

Abstract

Observabililty is an important topic of Boolean control networks (BCNs). In this paper, we propose a new type of observability named online observability to present the sufficient and necessary condition of determining the initial states of BCNs, when their initial states cannot be reset. And we design an algorithm to decide whether a BCN has the online observability. Moreover, we prove that a BCN is identifiable iff it satisfies controllability and the online observability, which reveals the essence of identification problem of BCNs.
