A Genetic Algorithm for Optimal Control of Probabilistic Boolean Networks

چکیده
We study the problem of finding optimal control policies for Probabilistic Boolean Networks (PBNs). Boolean Networks (BNs) and PBNs are effective tools for modeling genetic regulatory networks. A PBN is a collection of BNs driven by a Markov chain process. It is well-known that the control/intervention of a genetic regulatory network is useful for avoiding undesirable states associated with diseases like cancer. The optimal control problem can be formulated as a probabilistic dynamic programming problem. However, due to the curse of dimensionality, the complexity of the problem is huge. The main objective of this paper is to introduce a Genetic Algorithm (GA) approach for the optimal control problem. Numerical results are given to demonstrate the efficiency of our proposed GA method.

متن کاملProbabilistic Integrated Planning of Primary and Secondary Distribution Networks based on a Hybrid Heuristic and GA Approach
The integrated planning of distribution system reveals a complex and non-linear problem being integrated with integer and discontinues variables. Due to these technical and modeling complexities, many researchers tend to optimize the primary and secondary distribution networks individually which depreciates the accuracy of the results. Accordingly, the integrated planning of these networks is p...
متن کاملLoad-Frequency Control: a GA based Bayesian Networks Multi-agent System
Bayesian Networks (BN) provides a robust probabilistic method of reasoning under uncertainty. They have been successfully applied in a variety of real-world tasks but they have received little attention in the area of load-frequency control (LFC). In practice, LFC systems use proportional-integral controllers. However since these controllers are designed using a linear model, the nonlinearities...

متن کاملControl of Stationary Behavior in Probabilistic Boolean Networks by Means of Structural Intervention
Probabilistic Boolean Networks (PBNs) were recently introduced as models of gene regulatory networks. The dynamical behavior of PBNs, which are probabilistic generalizations of Boolean networks, can be studied using Markov chain theory. In particular, the steady-state or long-run behavior of PBNs may reflect the phenotype or functional state of the cell. Approaches to alter the steady-state beh...
