From Boolean Matrix Theory to Logical Dynamical Systems

This book offers a systematic platform for the theory of Boolean matrix and its application in logical dynamical systems. As a special kind of non-negative matrix, Boolean matrix has wide applications in graph theory, discrete-event system, game theory, clustering analysis, and so on. Due to the special operations between Boolean matrices, there exist some special mathematical properties for Boolean polynomial and Boolean vector space, which necessitate a general theory of Boolean matrix. Furthermore, logical dynamical systems have received recent attention from systems biology, information security, artificial intelligence, etc. The development of logical dynamical systems needs the mathematical foundation of Boolean matrix and logical matrix. Therefore, it is necessary to explore the relation between Boolean matrix theory and logical dynamical systems.

To our best knowledge, there are no published books available on both Boolean matrix theory and logical dynamical systems. This book aims to provide some recent insightful results to meet this gap. It can serve as a textbook for scholars and students of mathematics, cybernetics, biology and artificial intelligence. Especially, the book is an important reference for readers who are interested in Boolean matrix theory and logical dynamical systems.
