Abstract
This article proposes a nonaugmented method for investigating the minimal observability problem of Boolean networks (BNs). This method can be applied to more general BNs and reduce the computational and space complexity of existing results. First, unobservable states concerning an unobservable BN are classified into three categories using the vertex-colored state transition graph, each accompanied by a necessary and sufficient condition for determining additional measurements to make them distinguishable. Then, an algorithm is designed to identify the additional measurements that would render an unobservable BN observable using the conditions. Next, to determine the minimum added measurements, a necessary and sufficient condition and an algorithm based on a constructed matrix are presented. Finally, the results obtained are compared with existing literature and illustrated with examples.
期刊介绍：
The scope of the IEEE Transactions on Cybernetics includes computational approaches to the field of cybernetics. Specifically, the transactions welcomes papers on communication and control across machines or machine, human, and organizations. The scope includes such areas as computational intelligence, computer vision, neural networks, genetic algorithms, machine learning, fuzzy systems, cognitive systems, decision making, and robotics, to the extent that they contribute to the theme of cybernetics or demonstrate an application of cybernetics principles.
