A Linear Representation of Dynamics of Boolean Networks

Cheng, Daizhan, Qi, Hongsheng·2010·IEEE Transactions on Automatic Control

Abstract

A new matrix product, called semi-tensor product of matrices, is reviewed. Using it, a matrix expression of logic is proposed, where a logical variable is expressed as a vector, a logical function is expressed as a multiple linear mapping. Under this framework, a Boolean network equation is converted into an equivalent algebraic form as a conventional discrete-time linear system. Analyzing the transition matrix of the linear system, formulas are obtained to show a) the number of fixed points; b) the numbers of cycles of different lengths; c) transient period, for all points to enter the set of attractors; and d) basin of each attractor. The corresponding algorithms are developed and used to some examples.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
