Boolean networks are a general model of interacting entities, with applications to biological phenomena such as gene regulation. Attractors play a central role, and the schedule of entities update is a priori unknown. This article presents…

Boolean automata networks (aka Boolean networks) are space-time discrete dynamical systems, studied as a model of computation and as a representative model of natural phenomena. A collection of simple entities (the automata) update their…

We settle the theoretical ground for the study of automata networks under block-parallel update schedules, which are somehow dual to the block-sequential ones, but allow for repetitions of automaton updates. This gain in expressivity brings…

An automata network is a finite graph where each node holds a state from some finite alphabet and is equipped with an update function that changes its state according to the configuration of neighboring states. More concisely, it is given…

Dynamical systems with quadratic or polynomial drift exhibit complex dynamics, yet compared to nonlinear systems in general form, are often easier to analyze, simulate, control, and learn. Results going back over a century have shown that…

This article is set in the field of regulation networks modeled by discrete dynamical systems. It focuses on Boolean automata networks. In such networks, there are many ways to update the states of every element. When this is done…

When we focus on finite dynamical systems from both the computability/complexity and the modelling standpoints, automata networks seem to be a particularly appropriate mathematical model on which theory shall be developed. In this paper,…

An automata network (AN) is a finite graph where each node holds a state from a finite alphabet and is equipped with a local map defining the evolution of the state of the node depending on its neighbors. The global dynamics of the network…

We analyze the complexity of classically simulating continuous-time dynamics of locally interacting quantum spin systems with a constant rate of entanglement breaking noise. We prove that a polynomial time classical algorithm can be used to…

The question if a deterministic finite automaton admits a software reset in the form of a so-called synchronizing word can be answered in polynomial time. In this paper, we extend this algorithmic question to deterministic automata beyond…

We show that the problem of finding a Resolution refutation that is at most polynomially longer than a shortest one is NP-hard. In the parlance of proof complexity, Resolution is not automatizable unless P = NP. Indeed, we show it is…

In automata networks, it is well known that the way entities update their states over time has a major impact on their dynamics. In particular, depending on the chosen update schedule, the underlying dynamical systems may exhibit more or…

We study the dynamics of majority automata networks when the vertices are updated according to a block sequential updating scheme. In particular, we show that the complexity of the problem of predicting an eventual state change in some…

We present a new solution for fundamental problems in nonlinear dynamical systems: finding, verifying, and stabilizing cycles. The solution we propose consists of a new control method based on mixing previous states of the system (or the…

We present a framework for computing with input data specified by intervals, representing uncertainty in the values of the input parameters. To compute a solution, the algorithm can query the input parameters that yield more refined…

In this paper, we deal the following decision problem: given a conjunctive Boolean network defined by its interaction digraph, does it have a limit cycle of a given length k? We prove that this problem is NP-complete in general if k is a…

Among the fundamental questions in computer science is that of the impact of synchronism/asynchronism on computations, which has been addressed in various fields of the discipline: in programming, in networking, in concurrence theory, in…

The problem of linking the structure of a finite linear dynamical system with its dynamics is well understood when the phase space is a vector space over a finite field. The cycle structure of such a system can be described by the…

This paper is concerned with the computational complexity of equivalence and minimisation for automata with transition weights in the field Q of rational numbers. We use polynomial identity testing and the Isolation Lemma to obtain…

This paper presents efficient algorithms for testing the finite, polynomial, and exponential ambiguity of finite automata with $\epsilon$-transitions. It gives an algorithm for testing the exponential ambiguity of an automaton $A$ in time…
