State feedback based output tracking control of probabilistic Boolean networks
Abstract This paper studies the state feedback based output tracking control of probabilistic Boolean control networks (PBCNs) by using the semi tensor product of matrices. A series of reachable sets (with probability 1) is defined inductively for PBCNs, and some useful properties are obtained for the reachable sets. Based on the properties of the reachable sets, a necessary and sufficient condition is presented for the state feedback based output tracking control of PBCNs. Meanwhile, a constructive procedure is proposed to design state feedback laws for PBCNs to track a constant reference signal. The study of two illustrative examples shows that the obtained new results are very effective.
