Output feedback disturbance decoupling of boolean control networks: A logical matrix factorization approach

This paper investigates the output feedback control design for the disturbance decoupling of Boolean control networks (BCNs), and proposes a logical matrix factorization approach. First, some useful results on logical matrix factorization are recalled. Second, using the logical matrix factorization, a constructive procedure is established to design all the output feedback disturbance decoupling controllers for a given output-friendly subspace of the system. The study of an illustrative example shows that the new results obtained in this paper are effective in designing output feedback disturbance decoupling controllers for BCNs.
