SIMPLIFYING BOOLEAN NETWORKS
RICHARDSON, KURT A. - In: Advances in Complex Systems (ACS) 08 (2005) 04, pp. 365-381
This paper explores the compressibility of complex systems by considering the simplification of Boolean networks. A method, which is similar to that reported by Bastolla and Parisi,4,5 is considered that is based on the removal of frozen nodes, or stable variables, and network "leaves," i.e....
