From Boolean networks to linear dynamical systems: a simplified route

Boolean Networks can be converted to discrete linear dynamical systems on finite spaces by a semi-tensor-product approach. This approach has been used many study the dynamics and control of systems. However, process getting representation using method is complicated even for simple three-node network requires help computer program. In this work, we show that skip semi-tensor obtain same with straightforward mapping. Moreover, our produces large number isomorphic representations which provides flexible framework. Importantly, it could simplify analytical networks unspecified nodes have some structure.
