External control of some genes in a genetic regulatory network is useful for avoiding undesirable states associated with some diseases. For this purpose, a number of stochastic optimal control approaches have been proposed. Probabilistic Boolean networks (PBNs) as powerful tools for modeling...

We present a computational method for finding attractors (ergodic sets of states) of Boolean networks under asynchronous update. The approach is based on a systematic removal of state transitions to render the state transition graph acyclic. In this reduced state transition graph, all attractors...

In this paper, a natural extension of the Lempel–Ziv complexity for several finite-time sequences, defined on finite size alphabets is proposed. Some results on the defined joint Lempel–Ziv complexity are given, as well as properties in connection with the Lempel–Ziv complexity of the...
