New Results on Input-output Decoupling of Boolean Control Networks

We provide new necessary and sufficient conditions (with low computational complexity) for the input-output decoupling problem of Boolean control networks. Instrumental in our approach, the introduction of a new concept relying on the construction of some input-output-decoupling matrices that have to satisfy some conditions to ascertain whether a given Boolean control network is input-output decoupled. A numerical example is provided to illustrate our theoretical developments.
