This paper studies the minimum control node set problem for Boolean networks (BNs) with degree constraints. The main contribution is to derive the nontrivial lower and upper bounds on the size of the minimum control node set through…

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…

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.…

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…

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…

Boolean networks (BNs) are important models for gene regulatory networks and many other biological systems. In this paper, we study the minimal controllability problem of threshold and XOR BNs with degree constraints. Firstly, we derive…

In this paper, a set of sensors is constructed via the pinning observability approach with the help of observability criteria given in [1] and [2], in order to make the given Boolean network (BN) be observable. Given the assumption that…

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…

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…

This paper proposes a new parameter for studying Boolean networks: the independence number. We establish that a Boolean network is $k$-independent if, for any set of $k$ variables and any combination of binary values assigned to them, there…

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…

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…

Boolean network tomography is a powerful tool to infer the state (working/failed) of individual nodes from path-level measurements obtained by egde-nodes. We consider the problem of optimizing the capability of identifying network failures…

A Boolean network (BN) with $n$ components is a discrete dynamical system described by the successive iterations of a function $f:\{0,1\}^n \to \{0,1\}^n$. This model finds applications in biology, where fixed points play a central role.…

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.…

Observing the internal state of the whole system using a small number of sensor nodes is important in analysis of complex networks. Here, we study the problem of determining the minimum number of sensor nodes to discriminate attractors…

Boolean Networks (BNs) describe the time evolution of binary states using logic functions on the nodes of a network. They are fundamental models for complex discrete dynamical systems, with applications in various areas of science and…

We provide the first classification of different types of Random Boolean Networks (RBNs). We study the differences of RBNs depending on the degree of synchronicity and determinism of their updating scheme. For doing so, we first define…

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…
