New developments in control design techniques of logical control networks

The control design problem plays a fundamental role in the study of logical control networks (LCNs). This paper presents a detailed survey on new developments in control design techniques of LCNs. First, some preliminary results on the semi-tensor product method and LCNs are reviewed. Then, we move on to some new developments for control design techniques of LCNs, including the reachable set approach, the pinning control technique, the control Lyapunov function approach, the event-triggered control technique, and the sampled-data control technique. Finally, an illustrative example is given to demonstrate the effectiveness of these techniques.
