Sampled-Data Control for the Synchronization of Boolean Control Networks.

In this paper, we investigate the sampled-data state feedback control (SDSFC) for the synchronization of Boolean control networks (BCNs) under the configuration of drive-response coupling. Necessary and sufficient conditions for the complete synchronization of BCNs are obtained by the algebraic representations of logical dynamics. Based on the analysis of the sampling periods, we establish an algorithm to guarantee the synchronization of drive-response coupled BCNs by SDSFC. An example is given to illustrate the significance of the obtained results.
