Visualising the dynamics of Random Boolean Networks: examples of network size, mutation, canalisation .

Technical Report YCS-2010-448, University of York. February 2010.

Introduction:

We propose a simple approach to visualising the time behaviour of Random Boolean Networks (RBNs), and demonstrate the approach in a variety of cases: examining the dynamics as a function of network size for K = 2 connectivity networks, examining the effect of state and structure mutations on K = 2 networks, and examining the effect of canalising functions for K > 2 networks. We provide a Matlab implementation of the visualisation algorithm, and of the various demonstrations.
