Pinning Control for the Disturbance Decoupling Problem of Boolean Networks

Abstract

This paper investigates the pinning control for the disturbance decoupling problem (DDP) of Boolean networks (BNs) with disturbances. First, the solvability of DDP in BCNs is defined. Then, rank-conditions-based pinning control is proposed. Moreover, rank-conditions-based pinning state feedback controllers are designed for the DDP of BNs and the range of controllers&x2019; number is obtained. In addition, rank-conditions-based pinning output feedback controllers for the DDP of BNs are also discussed. An example is given to show the effectiveness of the obtained results.
