Analysis and Control of Boolean Networks: A Semi-tensor Product Approach
布尔网络的分析与控制——矩阵半张量积方法

Boolean network is a powerful tool for describing gene regulatory network. With the development of the systems biology, the analysis and control of Boolean networks become a hot topic for multidisciplinary research. This paper surveys some recent results obtained in the analysis and control of Boolean networks using semi-tensor product of matrices. The contents of this paper include the topological structure of Boolean networks, the controllability and observability, realization, stability and stabilization, disturbance decoupling, identification, and optimal control of Boolean (control) networks.
