Bounds on the average sensitivity of nested canalizing functions

JG Klotz, R Heckel, S Schober - Plos one, 2013 - journals.plos.org
Nested canalizing Boolean functions (NCF) play an important role in biologically motivated

Properties of Boolean networks and methods for their tests

JG Klotz, R Feuer, O Sawodny, M Bossert… - EURASIP Journal on …, 2013 - Springer
Transcriptional regulation networks are often modeled as Boolean networks. We discuss
certain properties of Boolean functions (BFs), which are considered as important in such …

Nested canalyzing functions and their average sensitivities

Y Li, JO Adeyeye, R Laubenbacher - arXiv preprint arXiv:1111.7217, 2011 - arxiv.org
In this paper, we obtain complete characterization for nested canalyzing functions (NCFs) by
obtaining its unique algebraic normal form (polynomial form). We introduce a new concept …

On the sensitivity to noise of a Boolean function

MT Matache, V Matache - Journal of mathematical physics, 2009 - pubs.aip.org
In this paper we generate upper and lower bounds for the sensitivity to noise of a Boolean
function using relaxed assumptions on input choices and noise. The robustness of a …

Boolean networks for modeling gene regulation

C Wawra, M Kühl, HA Kestler - Mathematical analysis of …, 2009 - Wiley Online Library
Cells of living organisms and their interactions are highly complex biochemical systems. By
mutual interference genes build connected networks, called gene regulatory networks, to …
