Synchronization analysis of multiagent-type Boolean networks

This paper investigates the global synchronization problem for the multiagent-type Boolean networks (BNs). First, by resorting to the biconditional logic operation, an indicator variable is defined to check the synchronized agents among the multiagent-type BNs. Then some necessary and sufficient conditions are obtained for the synchronization of the multiagent-type BNs. In addition, the upper bound of the time for verifying the criteria is also given. Finally, a numerical example is provided to illustrate the effectiveness of the obtained main results.
