Collective rhythms of multicellular systems by using impulsive control strategy

This paper considers the collective rhythms of multicellular systems by using partial impulsive control approach. The main aim is to design an impulsive controller based on only those partially measurable cell states, so that the collective rhythms can be achieved for the multicellular systems with cell-to-cell communication mechanism. Based on the Lyapunov stability theory, several sufficient conditions are derived to achieve the collective rhythms of multicellular systems. Finally, a synthetic multicellular system with simulation results is included to validate the developed results.
