We consider Boolean control networks (BCNs), and in particular Boolean networks (BNs), in the framework of symbolic dynamics (SD). We show that the set of state-space trajectories of a BCN is a shift space of finite type (SFT). This observation allows us to extend two important analysis tools from SD, namely, the Artin-Mazur zeta function and the topological entropy, to BNs and BCNs. Some of the theoretical results are illustrated using a BCN model of the core network regulating the mammalian cell cycle. |
