Disturbance decoupling controller design of switched Boolean control networks in recursion☆

This paper studies the disturbance decoupling problem (DDP) of switched Boolean control networks (SBCNs) by the methodology of recursion. All the state nodes of the original SBCNs are split into two parts based on whether or not the state node influences the outputs. By driving the part of state nodes which influence the outputs to the largest control invariant set, the concept of DDP in recursion is proposed. Using the algebraic state space representation (ASSR) method, both mode-independent and mode-dependent state feedback controllers are constructed to solve the DDP in recursion of SBCNs. Furthermore, based on the obtained mode-independent state feedback DDP controllers, the mode-independent output feedback controllers are designed for the DDP in recursion of SBCNs.
