Improved Calculation Scheme of Structure Matrix of Boolean Network Using Semi-tensor Product

  • Conference paper

Part of the book series: Communications in Computer and Information Science ((CCIS,volume 307))

Abstract

Semi-tensor product is an efficient tool for analyzing the characteristics of a Boolean network. Using it, the number of fixed points and numbers of all possible circles of different lengths are determined by the structure matrix of a Boolean network. But the conventional method to obtain the structure matrix is very complex. In this paper, a novel method is proposed to get the structure matrix. Unlike existing methods, our approach gets the structure matrix of a Boolean network not through the complex matrix operations but through the truth table which reflects the state transformation of the Boolean network. Comparing our solutions with the conventional method shows the advantage of our new approach through an example of a Boolean Network.
