The Boolean network has become a powerful tool for describing and simulating cellular networks in which the elements behave in an on–off fashion. Analysis and Control of Boolean Networks presents a systematic new approach to the investigation of Boolean control networks. The fundamental tool in this approach is a novel matrix product called the semi-tensor product (STP). Using the STP, a logical function can be exed as a conventional discrete-time linear system. In the light of this linear exion, certain major issues concerning Boolean network topology – fixed points, cycles, transient times and basins of attractors – can be easily revealed by a set of formulae.
