Robust Output Controllability Analysis and Control Design for Incomplete Boolean Networks with Disturbance Inputs

This paper addresses the problems of robust-output-controllability and robust optimal output control for incomplete Boolean control networks with disturbance inputs. First, by resorting to the semi-tensor product technique, the system is expressed as an algebraic form, based on which several necessary and sufficient conditions for the robust output controllability are presented. Second, the Mayer-type robust optimal output control issue is studied and an algorithm is established to find a control scheme which can minimize the cost functional regardless of the effect of disturbance inputs. Finally, a numerical example is given to demonstrate the effectiveness of the obtained new results.
