Reachability, Controllability, and Stabilization of Boolean Control Networks With Stochastic Function Perturbations

Robust controllability and stabilization are two fundamental issues in modern control theory. This article investigates the robust controllability and stabilization of Boolean control networks (BCNs) subject to stochastic function perturbations (SFPs). First, by defining the concept of the weighted path and constructing the perturbed position index matrix, the robustness analysis of reachability is divided into two cases. According to these two cases, several criteria are proposed for the robust reachability of BCNs with SFPs. Second, based on the robust reachability, the robust controllability and state-feedback stabilization of BCNs with SFPs are further studied. Finally, the validity of the obtained results is supported by examples.
