Abstract

This paper investigates the output reachability and output regulation control design of Boolean control networks (BCNs) by using the semi-tensor product method, and presents a number of new results. First, the concept of output reachability is proposed for BCNs, and some necessary and sufficient conditions are presented for the verification of output reachability. Second, based on the output reachability of BCNs and the attractor set of the reference Boolean network, an effective method is proposed for the control design of the output regulation problem. The study of an illustrative example shows the effectiveness of the obtained new results.
