Title: Networks with state-discrete dynamics: biological models and algorithms
Speaker:
Konstantin Klemms, Institute for Cross-Disciplinary Physics and Complex Systems, University of the Balears, Spain.
Abstract:
Boolean networks are time- and state-discrete dynamical systems conceived as models of regulation and control in living cells. In many such systems, the binary distinction of low and high concentration of each bio-molecule is sufficient to capture the dynamics. I give an introduction to Boolean networks, examples of application to specific biological systems and the mathematical and computational formalization by state transition graphs. Further topics include (i) the analysis of discrete dynamics under perturbations and (ii) the search for the closed communicating classes (so-called attractors) in state space by a recursive algorithm.
All interested are welcome.
