Abstract

Controllability is one of the most important properties of a Boolean control network (BCN). Essentially there are two kinds of controls: 1) networked inputs and 2) free logical inputs. This letter considers controllability of BCNs under mixed controls. The technique proposed is to convert a BCN with two kinds of controls into a set controllability problem. Using results obtained for set controllability, a necessary and sufficient condition for controllability of BCNs with mixed inputs is obtained. Some examples are presented to depict the theoretical results.
