Global dynamics of switching networks in biology
Abstract:- The study of biological networks is an increasingly popular area of mathematical research. Many different approaches are applied to answer many different kinds of questions. We ask, "what kinds of behavior are observed in biological switching networks, and how can we produce this behavior?" This is therefore a question of modelling. We start with two different frameworks: boolean and continuous. Both are frequently used to model genetic transcription networks which are examples of switching networks. We then explore several principles of global dynamics that are true in both frameworks. We finish with some current research conjectures and sketches of proposed proofs. [video]
