  1. Towards a theory of modelling with Boolean automata networks - I. Theorisation and observations.

    Authors: Sylvain Sené, Mathilde Noual
    Subjects: Discrete Mathematics
    Abstract

    Although models are built on the basis of some observations of reality, the
    concepts that derive theoretically from their definitions as well as from their
    characteristics and properties are not necessarily direct consequences of these
    initial observations. Indeed, many of them rather follow from chains of
    theoretical inferences that are only based on the precise model definitions and
    rely strongly, in addition, on some consequential working hypotheses.

  2. Nonlinear threshold Boolean automata networks and phase transitions.

    Authors: Jacques Demongeot, Sylvain Sené
    Subjects: Discrete Mathematics
    Abstract

    In this report, we present a formal approach that addresses the problem of
    emergence of phase transitions in stochastic and attractive nonlinear threshold
    Boolean automata networks. Nonlinear networks considered are informally defined
    on the basis of classical stochastic threshold Boolean automata networks in
    which specific interaction potentials of neighbourhood coalition are taken into
    account. More precisely, specific nonlinear terms compose local transition
    functions that define locally the dynamics of such networks.
